Default Cam movement?

Hey, just working on a cam swap and had a question from curiosity. How far back into the block does the cam move? I'm not pushing it in or nothing, just curious about how far back it'll go, if at all, before the lifters fall etc etc?

I don't know...just curious.

Thanks!
Rob

I hope you didn't take the bumper off for the cam swap.

Yea, no kidding...It actually helps not having the bumper, my back doesnt hurt as much as other swaps doing everything from above and crawling on the ground and getting up and laying down constantly.
