Valve Clearance on Larger Camshaft and Flat Top Pistons

My post is a direct quote from his book. If you believe that information to be incorrect I'm curious, what part you disagree with?

When you say " checking this stuff" I'm guessing we are still talking about checking undeflected and deflected lift measured as outlined in his book and that we haven't moved on to another subject?


And I quoted from the book.

The problem is you didn’t keep reading.

Godbold calls it BUCKLING LOAD. I call it plastic deformation.

If your theory was correct (and the way you read the book was correct) then the bend in the pushrods would remain when you stop turning the crank.

Sorry, it doesn’t stay bent or flexed or whatever you call it.

Also, the chart you posted doesn’t jive with your theory either.

I’ve asked you many times how YOU determine how much of the flex is the rocker and how much is in the rocker, but you do what trolls do. You post a chart or someone’ words.

You NEVER post what YOU do and HOW you do it.

You fucked up another thread and gave the OP bad advice.

Explain yourself or STFU.
