This entire setup includes a degree wheel from Comp Cams and the dial indicator. The dial indicator measures lobe lift off of the base circle. When we read the degree wheel, we get duration. It's a good idea to measure duration two ways-off the base circle and from 0.050 inch to 0.050 inch. To ensure accuracy, check lift and duration twice on each cylinder and record your findings with each.
