Catching a non-rotating lifter on first startup.

I'd be really wondering about the lobe taper.

That is harder to check on a Mopar cam with the different size cam bearing. One puts a Mopar cam on a flat surface and the cam is on an incline.

I'd guess you could use feeler gauges to prop up the smaller end to level the cam on a flat surface then measure the taper (or lack there of).

The old cam had about 150 quarter mile runs on it.
