Lash caps after cam mod

If you look at Mr Albans pics he's doing the Can Swap correctly.

He's has the Cam Specs, he's using a Degree Wheel and Dial Indicator.

If you have never used this type of measuring equipment before and have change a Camshaft its a Roll-of-the-Dice when you have issues such as discussed here.
 
Hi desertRat,
I have used a company which entire business is camshafts. They even manufacture bespoke camshafts. Their camshaft/mods sits in almost every car in the National Street Car series. Several Pro rally drivers, brand dealers and other automotive professionals use them. They are anything but cheap, but they follow their customer to a satisfactory result no matter what. They know cams. That's why I am not too worried.
As per their instructions my next step is to measure "exchange height(?)" at TDC using my dial gauge, after assembly (still waiting for the pistons to arrive).
No roll-of-the-dice, but I am just an engineer without professional mechanic skills, so that considered I guess anything is.
 
Well, the caps certainly adds another piece to the transfer of force, so it is not ideal. But I guess I can inspect caps and stems at each valve adjustment.
The buckets are all identical and seems solid to me. They all have a "bump" of extra (wear?) material in the bottom centre, which is clearly visible at my picture. Besides that all surfaces are smooth and even without any visible sign of cracks or wear.
 
Valaas could you snap a picture of cam lobe in a measuring device showing numbers. 8.8mm lift you referenced earlier not really helpful. If you could show the measurement that Neville asked for it might be helpful. I have 3 different sets of Neville's cams all different lifts. What did the cam maker say should be settings for these cams. Did you get a card? If you did can you post it. Did they say what lobe centers should be. Are you just dropping in and using stock tdc.

The service light came on (A little light shaped like a wrench). It stays on.
