Full lift timing method.
Posted: June 1st, 2018, 6:22 pm
Hello all, bit of a daft question probably but I cannot seem to find an answer anywhere regarding it.
As I understand it, the full lift timing method consists of adding together the first two figures on your cam iming information card, such as 25 65 65 25, and then adding 180 degrees of crank rotation to give duration.
In the example above you would have 270 degrees of duration, and to find full lift position you would divide that by two then subtract the first number (inlet opening) to give the number of crank degrees (135) minus 25 = 110 atdc...if Ive got that right.
The question regards the subrtaction of that first number. Why?
Surely full lift would be half the duration?
What am I missing?
I have sent an email to a cam company but had nothing back hence posting it here.
Any help gratefully appreciated to satisfy my addled brain.
