TOTAL valve lift is Lift at Cam times rocker ratio
For instance, a 0.320 lift at cam with a 1.5 rocker ratio equals 0.480 lift at valve
your 212 / 222 number is the duration and has nothing to do with the lift
your 435/460 is probably the lift with 1.5 rockers if this is a small block chevy engine ....making the cam lift 0.290 and 0.307. The first number is for the intake and the second for the exhaust.
If you have a calculator, you can multiply the cam lift times your rocker ratio.
Then, you should check each valve at the lift to make sure you dont have spring bind.
Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
