The following rule of thumb should be used in picking a camshaft for the Tiger 260: Maximum lift: 440" <br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1431359108808_42530">Maximum overlap:56 degrees. The LAT-20 Sunbeam cam exceeds the lift, but not the overlap. Therefore it is usable in the Tiger with flat top pistons, provided that you are using the stock cylinder heads with original 1.67" intake valves. If you are running larger valves, then even with the <br>LAT-20 cam you will probably have to notch the pistons for valve clearance."</div><div><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1431359108808_42624">David<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1431359108808_42649"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1431359108808_42625">-------------------------<br></div><blockquote id="yui_3_16_0_1_1431359108808_42454" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; margin-top: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1431359108808_42453" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1431359108808_42452" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><b id="yui_3_16_0_1_1431359108808_42629"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1431359108808_42628" style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Robert D.
