Hello, sorry for a late reply, my work-hours doesn't allow for much i-net visit anymore.

I guessed that "mushroom"-lifters was mentioned in some earlier posts, however they were to many to read.

Well the decrease in lift isn't so small when you pass 12,5-13mm lift, it seems like around that lift-height, the bend "eats" up the added lift, of cause less at the lobes that are closest to the bearings.

I haven't seen/heard of cams that have break because of too much lift.

But, I have seen cams that are so bent, that they even have split the distributor housing in half (!).
