rj Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Probably a question for Dave Andrews:What is the lift of Supersport cams? A friend with a 1.6 engine is trying to time his engine but we need to be sure it's an SS.The cams have 8.9mm ish lift.Does this seem right?

oilyhands Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Very early SS cams had 8.8mm lift but longer duration and faster valve acceleration. If you can take a photo of one of the lobes from the side I can tell you if the cams are stock or SS.Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rj Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 The casting is marked LGC10201, but I guess this has not necessarily to do with the actual profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
