contact wade cams to find out how much was machined from the heal of the cam. Assuming the head/lifter components are all OEM height, that will be the easist way to determine if anything needs machining and by how much. sometimes up to 40thou of material needs to be removed to get full valve lift throughout rpm range and get preload correct on the lifters.
