valve-lift
What the valve does, against what the ratio promises
The solved valve lift, and the cam's lift multiplied by the nominal ratio. They are the same curve to the eye and they are not the same curve: the peak is 12.777 mm against a promised 12.842 mm, short by 0.51%. The shortfall is not an error in either number. It is what happens when a ratio measured at one position is applied across a movement, and it is why cam cards and rocker ratios are quoted together.
