What is the maximum valve lift
well I run 9mm lift cams on a standard bottom end. Heard of Bill (billzilla) he had a 9.4mm lift on standard engine.

I wouldn't go higher than 9 just for safe keeping.

I'm running toda 288 8.5mm lift with stock bottom end and stock buckets ....

I would say if you have the buckets sorted and the head machined for high lift cams to clear there is no limit in lift .....
the engine might become intrusive ( if you break the cambelt your screwed) but apart from that, I don't see any limit .....

you can run any cam on a stock bottom end... its the cylinder head that needs the attention to (mechanically) run a wild cam.

Stock valve springs... are said to bind somewhere close to 8.0mm of valve lift (not cam lift... valve lift will be less - the amount of the clearence)

I recommend doing some study on dynamic compression ratio, and how cam duration/timing can affect DCR.

Concerning lift... besides spring bind at about 8mm, there is also the bucket towers... somehwere @ or near 10mm of cam lift the bucket towers need to be machined so the cams can turn in their journals

Can you tell me if this is a simple grinding operation to get the clearance or one that would require specialist machining.

Not sure what it requires....

...but if you are asking if I would attempt to do this... I'd say, nope... let a professional machinist do it.

The key(GUESSING) is knowning how much cam passes, so you can determine how much tower needs to be shaved....

Yeah valve lift is the source of the true power of the 4AGE.
