Default <tech only> camshaft / valve events theory

Camshaft theory resources:
Basic "HowStuffWorks" camshaft treatment
Basic "how a cam works" info
More cam info (lsa + adv or ret cam)
Lsa and advance explained another way, plus how to choose a cam, springs, pushrods, rockers, etc.
CHP article discussing camshaft basics
David Vizard 'Be a cam expert' article

How to:
HotRod "how to pick a cam" article
HotRod's "how to degree a cam" / power tuning
Carcraft "how to degree a cam" article -- same author as above, but I like this one better (more info including specialty tools list)
CarCraft "how to degree" article (fresh author)

[[ Comp Cams article about Overlap and power this appears to be a dead link now ]]

Have some of your own favorites? Put 'em in a reply!
