I wound up getting the Johnsons with .093 travel. Butler was out of the Hy-lifts. So being after measuring the heights off the cam base circle to the feed hole top and bottom I found in my particular engine the top of the band was .174" bellow the bottom of the hole. Which meant there was only going to be oiling for 1/3 of 1 rotation of the cam. So, I went and ground a trench down from the bottom of the hole .250". So hopefully it does the trick and gets full oiling now. Comp seems to make their base circles really small which creates problems with the band heights imo.
