Yeah, Don't ever let anyone check your camshaft using a piece of masking tape wrapped around the balancer, a ball point pen to mark opening and closing and then measuring the distance between the marks to calculate duration.

I was told that the "NEW" Legal valve job did away with the unshrouding rules (1/8 bigger than valve head) and the 1/4" (Seat) part of the rule.
Basically if you can do it "On center of the valve guide" it will pass. It doesn't matter if it is in the bowl area or chamber area as long as it is "On center of the valve guide Center Line. The only exception I got, if you want to call it that, was when I ask if anything could be "elliptical" The answer I got to that was a definition of "on center". I'm pretty sure that last line just gave away who was giving me the Vale Job information. I would bet quite a few of you know his "Style"... of giving answers.

Bump, this is 2 years old now.....so how far down with the cutter can we go? on both ends of the job?

Are they going by looks, feelings, a measurement or who you are?

Ask your division tech people.

Bill, I have been told that as long as it swings around the guide C/L it will pass.
There seems to be no depth numbers any more. Let me qualify the above statement with "AS OF" July 2014. Rules can be a moving target you better call someone with a little more authority than this message board.

Good call. Come out of nowhere and be fast at Indy. That is cool,but it is a lock for getting invited to the dance. Seen it many times. Most of the time it works out. Most of the time....
