It's a 55mm cam with a base circle of 1.100 also a stroke of 3.625 so it gets a little tight ! With the rods cam clearenced they do not touch but there are a couple of lobes that pass next to the rod that will just touch the side of the rod as they pass by so I have to touch them up just a little . Ok what is a rut rah ?

>900 base is a big help and a 4x7 swap moves lobes that are close--also the cam needs to be degreed where you plan on running it and Then check for room--makes big diff
I use a copper wire the diameter of the room I need--you can bend it any way and stick in there for easy check--works great!

Rut-Roh is a phrase that came from the cartoon series "Scooby-Do" when a un-forseen problem came up normaly spoken as "UH-OH" but to inject more humor into the series, The dog scooby would say it as "Rut-Roh"

Dave I like the copper wire idea I will try that . The small base circle will give you more room but it can cause other problems like cam twist . I run a lot of spring pressure 400 on the seat and 1100 open so I need a pretty heavy duty cam .
