I gave the OP all the information he needed to pick a set of rocker arms back at the beginning. The rest is just a rehash of an old argument that had been going on for a long time.
I don't recall the OP only wanting one opinion, and you are dismissing others who gave their opinion with that statement. If that was the case, he could have just sent you a PM and not bothered with starting a thread.
But, what I really want to know about this old argument is, Am I Wrong? You have an engineering degree and I assume know all of this stuff.
