Default Cam timing CVH

Anyone know the timing and lift for a std cam on an RST?

Thanks

I'd like to make a good guess based on some assumptions:
inlet 0 btdc -> 36 abdc = 216 total
exhaust 42 bbdc -> 14 atdc = 228 total

haynes manual says:

1.6 litre (except carburettor versions 1986 onwards):
Inlet valve opens . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8° ATDC
Inlet valve closes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 36° ABDC
Exhaust valve opens . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 34° BBDC
Exhaust valve closes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6° BTDC

Those are the figures that Ford quotes for a mk3 XR3i. My numbers are the mk4 XR3i ones with the 4degree shift because of the different pulley.

Calm down mate, I can read. I'm marely stating that somewhere in our sources, there is an error. An interesting fact also is that eccording to the Ford's manuals almost all CVH models had different cams. However these are so close to each other that only one or two different spares are sold for all of them.
