Lobe separation angle is simply the angle between the the lobe centers.
Where those occur with relation to tdc is up to the engine builder.
The amount of overlap is directly related to LSA and cannot be changed.
Again, all that can be dictated by the builder is the timing of the events.
Exactly. Nothing more, nothing less.
The lobe separation angle is the only cam duration spec that is given in
camshaft degrees.
It is not directly linked to the installed “centerline”......... which will end up where the assembler puts it.
