Post subject:  what can you tell me about these cam specs

its basically jibberish to me, found an old marine camshaft, looked up the numbers and this is what it told me



Durations at .050 lift

int 198*
ex 203*



Cam Lift

int .270
ex .276



Lobe centers

in 106*
ex 112*

I don't quite understand these figures, usually people speak in degrees like, "Mine is a 270*" or what ever, are these different numbers at different specs? ha ha, I am confused, would appreciate all help!

thanx

Looks like the '71 and up cam which was used earlier as the marine cam. It's about 244° advertised duration and is ground 3° advanced with 109° lobe separation. Multiply the cam lift by 1.5 to get the gross valve lift. Take away the lash setting from that to get the net valve lift.
