Camshaft ID - Your Help Please
I know a few of you guys will be able to help ID this cam. :-)
Unfortunately, the part numbers engraved on the lobes are a little corroded.
I'm pretty sure it's got a Crane gear.
Base circle @ 0.985
Base + lift: @ 1.308
So roughly 0.323 lift

What does the very end of the cam have on it where it goes into the cam bearing. That is where the information will be on most cams. I'm telling you now that .323 of lift isn't right at all.

According to your measurements it's somewhere around .530" @ .053". By the looks of the lobes i would say it has a pretty aggressive ramp.with good duration. Cam you read the markings on the cam and post. Your picture is hard to make out. How accurate is you measurements?
I'm thinking a crane H310 or a Head Quarters EVL-3030

The second set of numbers is: 3299 CR (I think...the CR could also be 08)

Interesting, when I read about this cam it mentions that the heads must be clearanced, but when I look at my heads they appear to be stock. Or are they just saying that to force you to check valve piston clearance with clay?

If that is the cam, you better make sure you have the heads set up for it. Not the stock springs you currently have. With that the guides might even need to be shortened because of the amount of lift. You'll also need to find out what the lift@tdc is because that cam as aggressive as it is will change the valve to valve clearance. A good head Porter will set you up properly. . That's not a cam for the Novice.... Not a bolt in....

Well having only put a few hundred kms on this bike, finding a broken spring, and ultimately dropping a valve, I'm really at loss right now, this being my first Harley. Trying to get a handle on how this was built and if done correctly. No help from previous owner as he bought the machine and never put it on the road. I'm not in a position where I can just go and drop it off at a shop and pay a bill. The bike isn't worth it. I know the springs aren't stock, I'll put up some pics from the good head, but to me it does not look like there was any porting done as you can still see cast marks.
