Cool Re: Rocker Arms

On another thread, I remarked about a 283 racer who went through about 100 stamped OEM rockers to get the 16 that he used. That was back in the day when OEM was all that was allowable, and the best arms were the ones with the little triangle on top of the tip above the valve stem tip.I don't know ,however, if he was attempting to achieve accurate lift, or whether he was striving for as accurate a ratio as possible.With all the latitude that various length pushrods can produce,there is an almost infinite degree of possibilities. Yes, it's interesting what an open forum can produce.Thanks to Travis for the expose' on how rocker arm ratios are calculated.
