For anybody who has not thought about Stroking an engine,
You only have to move the pin away from the main shaft half of what you want,
1/2" goes higher, 1/2" lower = 1".

I heard that Brian Chapman gave Max Lambky cam grind specs for supercharged motors, so I assume it was a custom grind different than any of the factory grinds.
Many years ago I spoke to Brian about his cams. I had the received wisdom that with superchargers you needed less overlap but Brian contradicted this saying that you need the overlap for power but increase blower pressure and don't worry about unburned fuel in the exhaust. I think his results proved the point!
Cheers Bill

They were early Slater alloy plates, I found the spindle hole was not in the middle,
Only a 1/3rd of the linings touched.
So we thought they were rubbish and redid the whole thing, The 4 leading/floating !, was better
but not as good as I wanted /Needed !, Not very good at racing :) .
We should have made one end of the shoe fixed, But I was young and not as clever as I should have been.
