If you buy the Factory spec book, it will have all this info. They are cheap, and extremely handy. It will give you the lobe measurements, as well as the cam part numbers. Maybe someone on this board has the '70='71 book. I can get this info for you tomorrow when I'm at work if needed.

If they are re-grinds, then the cam grinder usually stamps the back end of the cam with their cam number and name.

thanks for that
if you could get me the info i'd be very grateful
i'll try and source the books but i'm not sure if they are easy to get hold of in the uk

The Original Porsche Spec books that Tyson is referring to are no longer available. That is why I duplicated all of this info in my Engine Rebuild book: http://www.101projects.com . Shipping to the UK would probably run about $15 USD.

I have that porsche factory book in front of me and it says 3.0-3.3 mm intake valve lift at overlap TC with 0.1 mm valve clearance.
Hope that helps

Buying it from Amazon doesn't support Pelican or this BBS. Why on earth would you buy from a crappy retailer that would take years to get the book to you, when I can mail it out to you today?

Just a question Wayne....How the heck does Amazon get the book anyhow? Place an order from you and then jack the price up???

I personally boycott Amazon because of their "one click" patent. For those who aren't familiar with the issue, Amazon (somehow!) got a patent to the idea of keeping your information on hand so you didn't have to key it in every time. A bit like patenting the wheel after books have been written on making wheels!

Proof positive that the patent office is full of morons who are not doing their job.

That is just one stupid case out of many concerning application technology.

If they are this bad about software imagine what the future will be like now that the government is also allowing biotech companies to patent gene sequences.
