You can't assume anything is right. You have to measure. Do you think that Arrow rolled the cam and checked every lobe to make sure the lift is right? I bet Don Little or Bruce Parsons or Bub Whitaker would have. Do you think they poured all the runners or every combustion chamber? Did they weigh a piston and rod assembly? All of us have to play by these rules. So Chrysler gets to change the spec after the fact. Why doesn't that surprise me.
