umm...sort of a strange "turn" to this thread...and I'm not quite following the under-current since the most recent remarks seems to WANT to say "I disagree" but they just can't seen to get to actually making that point! lol

@polyspheric: I replied to your commentary re: my assertion the valves actually open towards the cyliner bore as opposed to the center, I even included a Mopar small block cut-through...I see that your original post, to which I responded, has now been editted by you, and is gone and has been replaced be a rather terse "Never mind"???

So the whining and complaining from @GTS340 and '@Harry's Taxi 2' is exctly what?

I mean, does that actually contribute anything to this discussion???

If any of you have an answer, ney, even an opinion based on supporting evidence as to what '@mopar dave' original post is about, I would love to read about it.

[now where is that "shaking my head with disbelief" icon]
