Packed to the hilt, Coffs Harbour to Sydney (Pacific M1) on e85 averaged 8.5l/100k – best ever.
10.9¢ per km (rip-off $1.29/l at Coffs United). Previous fill was $1.03/l at Mackenzie Caltex. -

So inside all but done other than the replacement section for the B&M shifter to mount onto, the old setup was a hacked up setup that was not very sealed and certainly not the most rigid. We are fairly confident that will no longer be an issue with the new section we’ve started to weld in but I hadn’t taken a photo of.

Correct. Duration and lift and LSA stay the same, main impact on combustion is through calibration of the intake centre line.
While the other three valve events are phased in unison by the same amount, IVC is by far the most influential.
