This is a step of degreeing in a camshaft, but mentions cam manufacturers specs at advertised lift;

NOTE: Many cam manufacturers provide .050" lift cam timing information. To check this, reset the dial indicator to zero with the lifter at zero lift.

Then rotate the crank in the clockwise direction until .050" lift is shown othe indicator. Note the intake open degrees.

Then proceed clockwise until the intake closing at .050" lift is reached.

Compare the readings to the cam card. Together with the maximum lift information, this data will tell you where the cam is degreed. Once corrections are made, measure the cam timing once more to verify the fix was correct.
