If you ask Indy, they tell you they have engineered all that into shaft height. Many times I had had to deal with geometry issues even using Indy rockers.


In reality, there is no one correct stand height. That's why W2 heads had the stands milled off and used blocks. Most guys HATED that because it wasn't Chevy.

Rocker shaft height, and distance from the valve, is situation dependent.


Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston
