degreeing a slant camshaft with no cam card

I think it interesting that this cam I am measuring now shows .251 lift and the engine in my parts truck shows .248 lift. Is cam wear what I am seeing?

I got as far as @ 001 degree wheel reads 24 degrees BTDC
@ 050 lift degree wheel reads 17 ATDC.

Not much I know but at least its a start.



The difference in your two cams is only .003", that could be production tolerances and some wear.


And yes. You're off to a good start.
