it was a brand new cam, which started my relationship with Howard cams, when I had ordered it, I told the fella what I was doing and he said he would take extra off the back so it would fit, but it didn't. I don't recall what the grind was, it was some sort of performance type cam, but it ended up costing me a fortune, and then when I sent it to Delta to be ground to fit, (one of the parts of the cost) they lost it and I ended up with one that had been ground at least twice, the lobes were just itty bitty, which is why I was thinking about the larger lobes. It was a very frustrating period.. Then the exhaust valves seized up in the guides, and ruined a couple of the lobes, so I had to get ANOTHER regrind. Had to pull the head AGAIN. But as an aside, during my research, I found that generally roller cams are steel, and very hard as the point of contact at the peak of the cam is pretty small.
