Should give you long valve train life, that cam normally is used with 1.4's

I got the engine tore down today and much to my surprise it was neither a 4062 or a 2339, it was a Engle W-110!

That cam with 1.1:1 rockers is .430" lift so with 1.3 rockers you will see .508" lift if they measure out correctly.

I did run rockers that measured out at 1.38 on my W-100 which came out at .526" lift and it worked quite well to 5800 rpm using the CB 650 outer springs and solid rocker shafts. I didn't notice much if any difference for the money spent.

People have spent more for less..........

I tried to start mocking up the heads/rockers, I thought I was in luck because I found a set of rockers shims I got with a rocker shim kit. They don't even fit with 8mm studs let alone 3/8" studs!
