Valve/cam specs

I was wondering if anyone has the cam duration(inatake and exhaust), and the valve diameters, intake and exhaust. I tried searching, and all I could find was a thread with valve stem dia. and spring I.D's. Although now that I think of it, it may be printed on the underside of the hood. But I am nowhere near my car right now, so I cannot check.

From the 1998 Nissan Maxima FSM:

Yeah, it's a little project I'm working on. Do you happen to have lift/duration of the cams?

Yeah I'd like to see this too, just for comparison purposes on some other engines I have specs on.

Here's a thread I found: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....=lift+duration

I don't know how accurate that is, so take it for what it's worth.

I couldn't find anything in the overhaul manual from Nissan.

It's actually a school project, BUT, when I finish school, I may actually do it. I like being all motor, so I want to go with higher copmression, hotter cams, stuff like that you know
