Rocker Arm help

Rat,
I am not wrong, but you are. Again. Probably set up more valve trains than you have had hot dinners. Notice how nobody is jumping in to defend you?
Put your glasses on & look at post #1 again. With valve closed, it shows the roller tip off centre to the exh side; with valve open, the roller tip is about to run off the edge of the valve on the exh side??????????
The rocker is effectively to long for this set up. Somebody in post #19 could see the problem, suggested lash caps like I did. See also post #15, working the saddle. They get it. If this rocker was raised up using shims to 'fix' the problem, the rocker would be at a very extreme angle at max lift; p'rod might bind in the cup & even contact the back of the rocker.
This rocker needs to sit lower in it's saddle if it is to be used. This will bring the roller closer to the intake side of the v/tip, valve on the seat, such that it rolls across the centre towards the exh side for a centered pattern during the lift cycle.


I’m going to block you. Unlike you, I don’t need anyone on this forum or anywhere else to agree with me.

So let me take you apart like the fool you are. Let’s look at how many times a rocker is hitting a spring and your standard answer is “beehive” spring, when in fact the issue is the shaft is TOO LOW and TOO CLOSE to the VALVE.

That is EXACTLY what is in the picture in post 1. Think before you type again you fool.

Use what little thinking process you have and lift the shaft UP and move it AWAY from the valve and see where the tip ends up. Then think it through what a lash cap does. It will make it worse.

You are a poser, a joker and a fool. I was correcting geometry long before you were hacking your junk up.

I couldn’t care less what the OP does. In fact, in post q2 he says he talked to Mike and evidently there is an issue with the radius in the saddle of some of these heads so he didn’t suggest fixing it at the moment.

Grow up and act like you can learn something, because you need to learn shaft geometry. Or just stop posting in these threads. Bad advice is no better than theft.

EDIT: I forgot to mention a “centered sweep” is not the way to determine geometry. I’ll take a .040 wide pattern that isn’t centered over a centered pattern that is .080 or more wide. Just dumb. You will never learn. Must be a down under thing.
