What is the most extreme valve lift you've seen on a Type 4 engine?
Thanks in advance. |

modern engines that are ohc have the advantages on lighter valve train and adjust valve timing events [profiles], and state of the art engine management.
these old tech engines have old school [crude] combustion chamber designs, heavy valve train and inefficient cam timing, and crude engine management. i would think like Ham said above to get what you would "feel" most out of an engine would be to build a smaller bore stroked out engine the would keep intake velocities up and make a very broad and flat torque band. |
