How to check a used performance cam for spec?

[bugnut68]

I've got a used Engle 110 cam in my lot of parts that I've accumulated in recent years, and was wondering how to check it for spec?  At best, without a regrind, I would likely use it for a STF type of engine build for giggles, but was just wondering how to check it for wear limits and such.  Any help would be great.

Check it with a Mic, Check the sides, then check the peak, subtract the two and you'll get the lift at the cam. Also there is suppose to be a sight climb from one end to another. I forget how much. Berg/Andy had this neat measuring device with a readout to check that. I put that to good use. Not sure if it's still there. when Andy passed, after it mite have been taken by family, cause it mite had been his. Could find out from Mark. Of course check for pits and obvious wear.

Yeah, God bless Andy Knebel!  That guy was really sharp, he was a great guy!  Hell, all those guys at Bergs were cool.  The lobes look good on this cam, don't see any signs of pitting, fortunately.  I've almost got enough parts for a 1776 or 1835 STF engine in my garage, perhaps a back up to my 2017 currently in the works.  Never without projects!
