What are you seeing for actual measured lift at the valve with zero lash?

There was recently a thread over on Speed-talk where someone was seeing a significant amount of deflection of the retainers…….which was skewing the true “at the valve” lift result.

You could probably test for this by using a fairly stiff feeler gage trapped between the rocker and the valve and measuring off that vs just measuring off the retainer.
