Hi Joe,

I went through the same thing. I asked for the spec's from the supplier 
I purchased them from & he wasn't sure, then I asked all the suppliers I 
could ( TRF, APT, BPNW, Moss ) but they either didn't know the answer or 
said simply make it a mild interference fit. It seems many of the parts 
houses like TRF out source this procedure. I eventually left it up to 
the machine shop I used & his experience machining race motors on 
american iron.  I guess his  educated guess was  good  since  the last 
20,000 miles or so have been reliable & oil pressure reading are still 
the same. When I was assembling the motor I slid the cam into place the 
fit seemed perfect.
Sorry I can't be more specific.
