I measured it out and it has enough wear I decided to toss it.
So my current plan is to replace it with a hydraulic roller. I wish they made a milder roller cam but for whatever reason they don't for an FE.
Personally I've never had a flat tappet cam failure , maybe because I load them up on zinc before break in or maybe because I've just been lucky. but nobody's luck holds out forever so the roller seems like cheap insurance. the older I get the more I hate to " re-do " things.
Get out of the thought you have to buy from a catalog, custom ordering isn't much more expensive, Comp has lobes as small as 230 advertised and 178 @ .050. You can get ANYTHING you want
The days of custom cams being unreasonable or only for racers are long gone, CnC machining and just in time production are good for the regular guy. Add a set of Morel lifters and you'll be happy as a clam
You can even go flat tappet with as much flexibility, my own toys, (489, 445, and now the 461 are all flat tappet)
Search for Comp Cams Lobe Catalog, dig around the High Energy/Magnum tables or the Thumpr tables, pick the lobes, LSA and ICL you like and go for it!
