On re-hardening the cams, I have to re-verify that Crane does that - it 
makes sense so *I* said it, we need to find out if it makes sense to 
them, too, and if not, why not. (I'm pretty sure they do it, but I can't 
speak for them.)

We do still need two dimensions before we can proceed:

1) Distance between cam base circle and top of valve stem (measure with 
follower removed, probably a good idea to do a couple of intake valves 
and a couple of exhaust valves.)


2) distance between cam face of lifter follower and the inside where it 
bears on the top of the valve stem. These are "C" shaped in cross 
section, we need the dimension from the top to the inside bottom.
