cam lift lost

the question is how much lost due to the bad geometry of the valve train....not lash...

after thinking about what I had posted...i was in my underwear getting ready for work...but now...the wide awake a 2 am....

the lost will be cos 11 degrees x the amount of lift at the cam......or for example .500 lift at valve which is .333 at cam with 1.5 rockers...

cos 11 (0.981627183) x .333 = 0.326881852 x 1.5 rockers = .490 lift at valve...

cos 11 (0.981627183) x .400 (.600 at valve) = 0.392650873 x 1.5 =0.588976309 at valve.

just remember the lifter and pushrod are NOT moving in the same plane...that is why there is a lost of lift at the valve....
