Lew,
The discussion is kind of becoming apples and oranges.
The points I was trying to make are;
1 They should not be tossing people without actually measuring the rocker ratio on their motor
2 Tolerance and advertised ratio are two different things and you need to consider both issues because advertised is often not what it works out to be in real life.
And further to what Dennis and X-tech man said I think the reason they relaxed the valve length rule is that it was very difficult for some racers to find a spring that would give the needed seat pressure and rate and fit all the height, diameter and configuration criteria. (Another can of worms to squawk about for those who don’t like our current spring pressure and duration rules or lack of rules that is)
And as Billy mentioned you better be checking every single one for two reasons; to make sure you are legal and not leave anything on the table.
Doesn’t all this talk about checking stuff make you want to run out and buy a 3 or 4 valve or a V10 stocker? LOL
