The lobe lift is what breaks lifter bores. Because more LL means a smaller base circle, with more of the lifter body hanging out of the bottom of lifter bore. That gives the lifter more leverage against the bore & they can break. An analogy is a wheelbarrow full of dirt. You cannot lift it, so you make the handles longer for more leverage.
Roller cam lobes have changed. A few years ago, 260 @ 050 duration with 0.400" lobe lift was big. Now, Comp has lobes that are 235 @ 050 & over 400 lobe lift, not lifter borer friendly...

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
