The formula to calculate the Valve Lift (VL) is:
\[ VL = LL \cdot RR \]
Where:
Valve lift refers to the distance the valve is lifted off its seat by the camshaft lobe. It is a crucial parameter in engine performance, as it affects the amount of air and fuel mixture entering the combustion chamber. Higher valve lift can improve engine power and efficiency.
Let's consider an example:
Using the formula to calculate the Valve Lift:
\[ VL = 0.5 \cdot 1.6 = 0.8 \text{ inches} \]
This means that the valve lift for this example is 0.8 inches.
