i think your forgetting that i used lash cap on and on real race engine that use titanium valves use them when needed with T&D rockers and jesel rocker arms there not much adjustment like i post . the rocker sets on stands there not a rocker stud in play were we many times have a pre set stand and a pre set that they give you on the valve length and spent many hours playing with set up stands on the mill more then any one on here other then you when thing s were not right ? or not .yes jerry i done more then one rocker set up like this on ford and chevy bbc and small blocks fact there some in may photos on here. i have use lash caps on the street when needed for the last 20 years thanks for playing me down
