Further proof at how under-developed LSX suppliers and vendors are. Every roller rocker I have ever used on MKIV or V Big Blocks was stamped w/ ratio. Hell, remember I got a new GM head (PRC stage 2.5) w/ casting defect so bad coolant ran past the freeze plug. It was on driver's side of course, so I'm right there with you. If you have time, give me a shout as you roll through Macon Ga on your way to O-town.

Jay Lee

Hey Stephen, glad to see you got the noise figured out at least....
I'm really sorry to see that it was the pistons smacking the valves! Are you just going back with stock heads for now?
But, i do agree with Micah that you should be down here for the Head Cam install!

EG - question from an engineering ignoramus - how come the exhaust valves hit and not the intake? Is there a different lift or ration or whatever from one to the other? Or?

With the additional ratio from the Roller Rockers, P/V on the exhaust was non existent.

There was a guy at the track this weekend with a Ferrari 612, he had just driven it all the way from Seattle, Washington to Daytona beach, Florida just for the race. yes that's right, he drove!
