I know they work just fine on big blocks with mild lift camshafts. Copper

Same holds true for small block as well. I ran a Comp XE274 with stock style rockers and Edelbrock heads for about eight years. That cam is also a mild .500ish" lift.

Off topic but anyone else see a problem here? Hmm. There's a way to courteously recommend something to someone......or bludgeon them.

Sorry if I hurt your feelings but disrespect for our flag and disregard of very basic electrical safety does not generally trigger a courteous response from me. If I was in his garage or yours or for that matter my best friends I would have been all over this. Actually I probably would have then offered to fix all of the problems if they couldn't. 1. Displaying the damaged flag is disrespectful. I can't emphasize that enough. It can be easily repaired or properly disposed of. 2. The missing cover is a shock or electrocution hazard. Easily fixed for less $ than an order of Mcdonalds french fries. 3. The flammable piece of cloth dangling from the flag is actually touching the uncovered electrical box and a plug. Easily fixed Fire hazard. 4. Might be an artifact in the image but the cord appears to be pulled out of the top plug. Never pull a plug out by the cord. OK, now you can call it a bludgeon if you like. Perhaps a well deserved one.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

OK, now you can call it a bludgeon if you like. Perhaps a well deserved one. I agree with everything you said. But if you had initially phrased it somewhat like "You may want to consider putting a cover on your receptacle. An open box like that poses both an electrocution and a fire hazard. You also may want to repair the flag, it deserves it.". See how that works? Rather than playing "Where's Waldo". I guess everyone has their own style.

I'm not trying to cause a p ing contest but I really don't see what was offensive about the commentary. It would take less than two minutes to install a cover plate. The flag, I have known people that have given there lives for our country. Disrespecting the flag as shown IMO is disrespecting them and those that fought for our way of life. That is what I was taught by those that raised me, OK now my next question is why would someone go to the expense of Edelbrock heads and use factory style stamped steel non adjustable rockers? Seems counterintuitive to me

Stock ROCKERS, you can't be serious! (John McEnroe) I saw a mega expensive sixpack build, running a huge cam and made 450hp with stock rockers... The cheapo after-markets cost less than a tank of fuel...
