There's lobe lift and valve lift. Valve lift is the rocker ratio times lobe lift. Most people talk valve lift because that's where head flow is measured. Cam cards sometimes have both but will specify the rocker ratio for a given valve lift. My previous comment about 1" being unrealistic was referring to valve lift.
quote:...and according to Jegs these rockers have no spring load or RPM limit.
Trust me, they have a limit. Just look at all the stuff for sale on eBay that are one or two short of a complete set.
quote:My uncle was in town from Chicago for Thanksgiving, and he used to work at a shop that adjusted valve lash. After I adjusted the one valve that seamed to have excessive lash he checked it cold, then he stuck the feelers in while it was idling.
Huh? While running?
He must be pretty quick with his hands 
It would also take the lash to zero if you left the feeler in while running. quote:When I get a chance I am going to go check out my local speed shop, and see if I trust the guys there. Maybe I will put it on their dyno while I am there.
That might be a good move. Just remember, shop rate usually goes up 50% if you want to watch and 100% if you want to help..........just kidding
Best,
