Luce, you got me thinking about that and I forgot there is a down measurement to. It's explained in this Ford Racing tech sheet, page 7 (Alternative Method). The dist. measurement method I have found does not seem to always work as I have measured dist. that do not match but when measured under the alternative do check out. Regardless, I looked and saw you have a 351 based engine so the dist. lenght may not be the same. Ford says the alternative method can only be checked without the cam in the block. After I found this again I looked for one specific to the 351 based engine and could not find one. I believe the .005 up and dowm check should apply. Sorry for not being complete on that.

ADDED: I finally was able to find a sheet specific to the 351. It looks like it's pretty much the same.
