2mm lift at tdc on inlet, 1.4 exhaust, too much for std pistons even machined, borderline too much lift for std valves also.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

wilder cams need more compression not less, you would lose a fair bit if you put a gasket thick enough to get safe clearance, I don't think you'll find a gasket thick enough for that as well________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I can't remember the exact figure, but its around 10.9, they'll hit the spray bars past 10.9 also if they're the same base circle as a standard cam.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
