Rocker arm recommendations?

B3,
I'm 'delusional'? Your quote in post 80 where you make this claim about what I supposedly said is ACTUALLY A QUOTE FROM YOUR POST IN POST 67, not mine.
Whose delusional.


Your post #80: 'There is a straight line through the pushrod & the centre of the adjuster radius'. Huh? How does a radius become a straight line?

Also in post #80: '....it would be impossible for the manufacturer to design a specific rocker ratio, so all those rockers advertised with a ratio is a lie'.

The ratio is a nominal ratio. The actual ratio can & does vary throughout the lift cycle. The Crane quick lifts are but one example. David Vizard's testing shows this in a number of ways. Not one of the 24 rockers tested produced the advertised ratio by using the formula of total valve divided by total lobe lift. He calls it the overall ratio ratio; another term would be the average ratio. Average because the ratio varies through the cycle; & somewhere in the cycle, dividing the valve lift by the amount of lobe lift gives the advertised ratio.

You do not seem to understand even the basics.

Of course the ratio is nominal. If the rocker is made exactly at the nominal ratio it won’t be “nominal” under load. You are confusing two separate issues and you are wrong doing both.

IIRC the 1.6 “nominal” ratio rockers I run measured 1.66 or close to that with no load. With a load on them they are right at 1.6 like they should be.

My Norris W2 1.6 rockers measure damn near 1.7 on the intake and 1.65 or close to that on the exhaust. Under load they both measured 1.6 on the money.

You are way over your skis on this.
