aah! you make me so sad

less eye candy for me on wednesday. oh well, at least andy's still goin and raz...but raz arent you still taken? you're not allowed to be oogled

you can oogle, just don't touch too much. GF says so.

lol i still would rather not oogle the taken lads. I have SOME sense of honour.

well hey, come on guys...Jenn might be showing up....

AND she's got motor related questions that I'm only half ass guessing!

Just a confirmation of the valve float I was experiencing. From AFR (Air Flow Research):

"Note:
Hydraulic roller cams typically experience valve float at 5800-6000 rpm because of their fast ramp rates. AFR suggests you upgrade your springs to AFR part #8032, 1.530 O.D. with higher spring pressures to reduce chances of valve float associated with rpm’s 6000 or higher."

Crane cam also documents a lot of problems with pushrod flex with upgraded valvetrains. I have fairly stout pushrods but I need to check exactly what they are, this could be the solutions and an easy fix

My valve springs are upgraded considerably but I am also running much larger 7/16" roller rockers = strong & reliable but a bit heavier.

Solution:
Redline now set at 5800

Temporary solution, right Ian? Would be a shame to not rev that thing to it's potential...

Edit - even though RPM stands for Ruins People's Motors.

Edit 2 - and the 7/16" portion of the rocker has nothing to do with rev range, right? It's more the heavy 2.02 valves and the 1.7:1 rockers.
