Easy, you just have to grind an equal amount off all the way 
around. If you have to take .020" off the top of the lobe just to clean 
it up, then you have to also remove .020" off the bottom (the base 
circle) which leaves you with the same lift as before.

There's a little more to it than this, but this is the basic idea, and 
for removal of small amounts of material it is fundamentally correct.
