Default Cam identification?

Does anyone know how I can tell Pointy cams apart from curvy ones?

Thanks

Do you have them to compare next to each other? If I remember correctly the pointy cams, from base to lobe tip, are larger than the curvy one's.

Squirrell do you still have the measurements?

Stretchie, you're thinking of the shift star, not the cams.

No I'm not.

We measured the cam lobes curvy vs pointy on the bench next to the far garage door at the old place.

Pretty sure we found the pointy ones are Xmm bigger thus keeping the valves open that bit longer.
