Today I have taken a spare 190 cam and a 177 cam and mounted in turn in my lathe.

Using a dial gauge mounted on a magnetic base, I measured a lobe from the 177 camshaft, then zeroed the clock.

I then mounted the 190 camshaft in the same way and measured the same corresponding camshaft lobe, the difference in the two measurements were .065" or 1.651mm if you prefer metric measurement.

Doesn't say that in RAVE does it Simon?, I must have been dreaming then
