Add 2 #s together and divide by 2
This is how we do all the engines at our shop and how I tell all my cam customers to do it regardless of cam type
Remember you must use a SOLID LIFTER during this exercise sir

OK, So your suggestion is to do it at .050" lobe lift, centered between opening and closing. Thanks. I'll check that and see how it compares to using the two max lift points.
