Are you referring a SAE engine , TM cylinder head ? if so the lift is half the stroke generally . The finger followers are rolling ball suspended in pressurized oil , not flat faced as the friction will not allow 13.000 rpm . For the motion under continuous acceleration there are charts of the camshaft velocity's in racetech engineer magazine , i think a few months ago . Also the firing order , or big bang theory will come into play with the camshaft profile design . The effecienty of those engine is getting close to f1 , properly more SAE hp per litre than next years engines . I would suggest you use the one cylinder lotus software that your uni should have , next time i look at the prototype heads for next year that are being flowed atm i will see if there are any specs on camshafts and forward you them . And if you can make the design optimize the engine performance enjoy europe because thats where you will be working after finishing the course .
