Default cam card help

i'm not used to how these cams are being measured

but at how many degrees btdc / atdc does this one SHOULD have full lift ??



the 119 deg lobe sep agle doesn't nessesarely mean it is allso at 119 degrees max lift i would think..

i normally install a cam by the max lift at xxx crank angle

or IS the 119 the correct value i'm looking for ??

thanks..

pay close attention to the specs @.006, and make sure int/exh valves are opening and closing at there specifed degrees.

yes i know. but i would prefer to use the max lift at xx deg crank rot. , as the exact opening at xx deg. could allso be somewhat affected in my eyes due to other factors, and max lift not so much.

as otherwise i would need to be sure to allso have the 0.006 clearance to measure correctly, and with max lift that is not ness. i could even run clearanced tappets, that would still not affect my reading
