Rocker Arm help

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.

No, it's not a "down under" thing. There are a lot of Aussies that are running our kits, and also an Australian Pro Stock team running our custom rockers with the stand corrections. It's strictly a Bewy thing.

Bewy likes to reference stuff he reads, and then make it conform to his own ideas. It's like the Smokey Yunick references that he misstated in a previous thread, and he likes to reference Circle Track Magazine a lot. Well, here's a link for a Circle Track article about rocker geometry.

Rocker Arm Geometry And Valvetrain Alignment (motortrend.com)

It completely disagrees with Bewy's version of rocker geometry, and even shows examples of how centering the pattern can be very detrimental. But, as usual, Bewy will likely twist and spin everything to support his viewpoint, and claim he is still correct. It's sad really, because I don't think he is stupid, but simply refuses to learn something new. Either that, or he is just to stubborn to admit being incorrect.

By the way Bewy, this is Rat's defense, and a very good one at that. Also, it's my busiest time of year, so I won't be getting into a long drawn out argument. I have to serve my customers with my time.
