Hi! Time to degree the cam in this thing. Oregon Camshaft grind #819 which is 219/219 @.050", 264/2645 advertised, .437"/.437" lift @ 110.



Running 8.9-9.0:1 compression with 2 barrel



What kind of Lobe Center number should I be looking for?



Any ideas?



Thanks

Scott

Ie. is the 110 the number?



In L.C. 110 degrees?



Motorcycle mechanic so these numbers not normal for me to deal with.

The 110 number you typed is probably the lobe centerline angle (LSA) for the camshaft but not seeing the card itself leaves some doubt.  Depending upon what’s printed on the card, it could be the ‘as ground’ LSA or the recommended intake valve LSA for installation purposes.  A 110° LSA would be a common lobe center angle for many ‘off the shelf’ aftermarket cams though.
