[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 102301, member: 597"] Terry's cams are usually set up at 0.120" lift on his Mk 3 cams and 0.170" lift on his Mk 2, 4, and 5 cams all set with the engine at TDC on the overlap stroke, this on the inlets the exhausts are fixed so you can't alter that anyway. Be aware that most of Terry's cams have plain bronze bushes which will readily seize to the spindle if not enough clearance is given, when you press the pinion on it will collapse the bush on the drive end and will need honing out, oilite type bushes are better and less prone to seizure.
