I can probably interpolate something from measurements that I've made but was wondering if someone smarter than me has a proper solution.

Hi Charles
Funnily enough I had been pondering this myself, but haven't got beyond the going to sleep thinking about it stage yet.
My thought, entirely untested by any means, is that the flatter the follower the earlier and later the valve will open. I'm wondering about using that to create scatter cam timing on the inlet valves to mitigate charge robbing. I'm also wondering if it would be possible to grind the follower asymmetrically. As I say this is just idle moment, mind wander at the moment.
