does anyone know of a local engine shop that has a cam doctor
I have a favorite cam and the numbers are ground off so i need it checked for specs
i am located in lansing and can ship it to midwest motorsports to have them check it .$25 plus shipping but thought i would try a local shop. oldgold.

Pops, I emailed a couple people but no one has gotten back with me yet.

do you have an old short block sittin around?

if so, just pop the cam into the old short block, install a used but good timing chain, make a piston stop, install a degree wheel, Find TDC, remove piston stop, use a dial indicator on the lifter, rotate the crank CW and read the degree reading at .050 lift intervals. record max lift. do this for intake and exhaust. we will need the degree readings at .050 when the lifter is rising (valve open) and .050 befor the lifter is all the way down (valve closing)

post your readings here and we will calculate your intake and ex. duration and centerlines.
