Not sure how your comment above applies to my post; crankshafts don't stay perfectly straight when they're spinning at high RPM, either, but you still want to know the bearing clearances, etc., when the engine's being assembled.

My point is that the geometry was pretty much nuts on, and not something that should have impacted my ratio measurements.

On the subject of rocker arm geometry (running or not), I'd much rather mine look like what I posted above than what another popular brand of rocker arms look like when you simply bolt 'em down on a set of BB Victors. Holy Sh!t!
