Hi Karl, what exactly is the measuring standard of a camshaft, I am trying to put it in educated sounding words but am having a tough time although I think now I have a pretty good idea.
As far as I can say at this point every cam manufacturer at one time had their own measuring standards and this simply meant a baseline of where they took all their measurements from.
Evidently from what I have read most cam manufacturers got together and united on the .050 standard at some point but this may still not hold true for all stock cams for all engines.
In my case I am sure/believe it was .006 but I am still confused why things are just not measured from the lobes lowest point?
