    Dot GSX750F head on GS1100E. Cam question?

    Ok. I'm diving into my spare motor build and have decided to convert a DOT Suzuki GSX 750 head onto my GS1100E spare motor. Not messing with the original motor, going to shelf it.

    I have acquired a 1990 GSX750F Short Stroke motor with a dot head and I'd like to verify what cams I have been so lucky or unlucky to get with it.

    Reportedly, the motor was in a later Bandit so I'm thinking the 750F cams may or may not be in it.

    I have some help in measuring the lift on the cams, as I have never done this before, and my help is suggesting that I measure the lift at the valves rather than the cam lobes since the valves are not driven directly by the cams.

    Is this correct?

    If I find that I have the sissy cams I'll be shopping for a set of GSX-r 750 88-89 cams so I'd like to know the correct way to verify them as well.

    Next question that comes to mind is.... If I'm to measure cam lift at the valves do I zero the clearance between the valve and the rocker?

    PS. I've done enough research to know the lift I'm after but I'm a newbie a measuring the lift itself.
