So what do you think?

Would be nice to have a cam design engineer speak on this.

My comment wasn't directed at Yahiko in any way, just to clarify...

I was waiting for him to tell us what the solution was. He said the cam is ground wrong, but the answer to the problem is heavier valve springs.

Did I miss something?

You mean the part where he didn't know what he was talking about?

What I got out of it was that he thinks the lift curve is wrong.

From other things I was getting from that video was that
he is selling something and wants to buy HIS FIX TO THE PROBLEM.

BTW did you look at his other videos?
