Re: Isky cam
Cheater cams were quite popular in the early days. They would pass a "lift" test only.
They would NOT pass a degreeing or visual test.
Many cams were ground with a stock grind on the first cylinder and something like a 1007B on the rest. Number one was the only cylinder checked normally.
Same way with cranks. 4.5 inch stroke on all but 1 and 5.. Stock stroke there.
Smokey figured out how to run alcohol and hide everything but the smell and even got away with that for awhile by using some castor oil in the fuel.
