Camshafts and Compression

aha! mystery solved

BTW
my 2014 Chevy Orlando 2.5 liter VVT/DI alloy headed engine cranks 220 on my gauge, too. It is rated 167hp at 6700 rpm.(compare that to an old 318/150hp at 4400) The switch-over on the VVT occurs at 4500, and in the four years we've had it, I only ever needed it like once that I can remember.
The point is that the bottom end is very strong. and the VVT is like a supercharger when it kicks in.
I have a hard time processing what a 410@215psi would be like to drive; I think I can taste envy, lol.
Well, it’s lively enough. I feel I can make it better of course. $$$ :) I’ll do the test mentioned by @PRH. Could be a new set of lifters coming..
It would probably idle choppier with regular hyd lifters - more duration. Will probably save the starter though!
