Default Need base circle radius measurement for 212/218 522/529 114 Comp Cam

A while back I installed this cam but cannot find my measurements
(verified lift etc...) prior to the install. I don't recall the base circle
radius but seem to remember that it was less than 19.7mm (stock cam base circle radius). Anybody here have that number?

Thanks,

Gert

I did check the website and could not find that detail (base circle radius).
SO, if anybody has that cam and could measure this or, if already
done so, just post the number?

Thanks,

Gert

Would it be the same as the Comp 216/220 0.525 0.532 114?

Although one cannot be 100% sure, I would assume comp cam would use the
same base circle for both cams because the lifts are about the same, the duration usually does not come into base circle considerations, I think.
All that is needed is that the sum of the base circle radius and the max lift
add up to less than the journal radius so the cam can slide into
the motor.

Ok well, the cam is somewhere in the attic I think, I'll pull it down and try and find a dial caliper. It'll be good info regardless. How soon you need the numbers?
