Checking lobe lift

stumper said

If you pull the intake you will be able to see the cam lobes. If they are wiped you would be able to tell pretty easily without measuring them. I don't know about you but I would sure rather pull an intake than take the rockers off and then have to reset it all back up again.

I just might do that in the end. I've already got the valve covers off and rockers disassembeled in order to change out the valve springs. Was hoping to kill two birds with one stone and check the cam while I have the valve train torn down. I'm just being cheap and lazy and not wanting to buy new intake gaskets, clean the rtv off of the block from the valley pan, retorque everything, etc... Oh well, it's not really that difficult or expensive in the end and it would be nice to have precise measurements of lobe lift for future reference. I guess there's not really any room for cheap and lazy in this hobby!
