There is no 4mm camplate for direct injection engine...??
I have found only 2.5 -> 3.3mm lift ones. I know that somebody is selling custom 4mm camplates for IDI engine.
I think 3.3mm lift is as good as it gets with 12mm pumphead.
My pump was just checked and so far looks like it's still OK after years of use to 5.5k. That's running crap USA D2 with lots of TC-W3 2-stroke oil.
I was going to try bigger camplate but that would really limit rpm. You would not have pump capable of 5k rpm if built that way.
Even smaller pumphead (11mm) and higher lift camplate (4mm) would not be OK for 5-5.5k rpm according to my pump builder.
To quote TDIMeister (Dave) from 3 years ago:
"An aggressive profile with high lift rates increases the acceleration (mm/deg^2) of the reciprocating components, which is further raised by the square of RPM. A larger plunger is also heavier. Force being the product of mass an acceleration (F=m*a), if you increase both mass and acceleration, you increase forces. In addition, a higher piston area has higher hydraulic forces. Both combined, these forces must be counteracted by the springs, which therefore need to before beefier, and the higher forces increase contact pressures between the cam plate and rollers, which can brinell/gall the surfaces.
Lastly, the threshold of cavitation decreases to lower RPM with larger pistons and more aggressive profiles."
