Got the cam for my 2F back from Delta Cams, and measured the cam rise for each lobe (total height at top of lobe minus base circle). I measured all of them multiple times because I was getting some odd numbers. This is my first experience with a regrind, so I'm not exactly sure of what the tolerance should be on the cam lift.
These are my actual measurements......with an advertised cam rise of .284", should I be concerned about the amount of variation between lobes, and that most of them are well below spec?
