I've got the tool that rides on the cam so you can measure cam lift directly w/o a lifter...

yes...its more accurate. It holds the dial indicator directly and has a knurled surface so it stays put in the lifter bore. You are measuring for TDC and for .050 events so you want to accurately measure the cam.



I don't mind loaning it out (as long as I get it back )...I'm only a few miles from Chris (right off 272 at the MD/PA border)
