... well guys, unfortunately i have seen that the resident moron on PZ which would be Goober (

) is now claiming the valves in my CV-345/RacePlate heads for this 572 have had the valves moved to a different location ?? ...

... incase anyone gives that man an ounce of credit (which i hope they don't) i am simply setting the record clear, the valves in these heads for the 572 have NOT been altered or moved in anyway shape or form, and they do run the max-offset we can run with the CV-1 cylinder head ...

... i'm sure there are many that aren't up to speed with how he runs things on that forum, and we don't want his lies being taken as fact concerning this engine and it's parts ...

... back to topic, sorry ...

????????????

You are implying that the valves have not been moved/changed from a stock CV-1 head diameter and position that are out on the street currently?

You just posted that the "have NOT been altered or moved in anyway shape or form, and they do run the max-offset we can run with the CV-1 cylinder head"

So which is it, "not moved" or "moved to max offset position" and are not a different diameter? Help me out here.

... i'm not implying, i stated that the valves have NOT been moved in this head, (or any other CV-1 combo for that matter, ReTool head included) meaning the guides are still in the standard CV-1 location, meaning, not moved at all, diameter is not relavant to location of the valve over bore center ...

... the Max-Offset is referencing the pushrod location through the head, meaning we are at the maximum amount of OffSet we can use in this head, hence the offset shaft rockers and offset Keyed lifters in the photos ...

Looks like you spent alooooot of time polishing your crank-Jerkey!

J.C.you · 07-01-2013, 06:03 PM

If a guy bought a set and moved the valves around, for instance where his builder wanted, or you did a set with modified valve angles, what difference would it make?

Bill, NO one listens to gomer.

In the out of the box head the pushrod passes through a small groove cutout past the intake port. By moving the pushrod over (offsetting)this groove can be welded up to utilize all the ports realastate. If Im understanding Bill correctly.

Aren't you an engineer? Lmao I'm just a lowly dealer mechanic and I took that as valves are in stock location and they are using the maximum offset rockers and or lifter that they safely can run. Its written in English lol.

I was just trying to get a clarification on what he posted. He posted that the guide position and angle did not change if I read his post correctly. So I have my answer.

Yes I am a engineer with 35 years experience doing engineering work on boosted systems, I am not a valve-train engineer so I ask questions. So you assumed that was what he meant.
I asked what he meant, I got an answer, big difference.

If you assume stuff in engineering typically it will bite you in the ass down the road.

I'm glad you got your clarification. It just seems like you we're trying to make something out of nothing that's all. But... what do I know I'm just a dumb mechanic.

Tom Vaught · 07-01-2013, 11:11 PM

Don't give me that crap, I worked in my uncle's Pontiac dealership every summer for 3 years on the floor as a line mechanic. Some of the smartest people I have met were line mechanics. Smart means little if you can't apply it, so I am not buying your excuses.

Lol I'll take that as a compliment. No excuses just not claiming to be a genius that's all. Not my prerogative I guess.

I think I would pay cash money to see you post a picture of that monster motor bolted to a slim jim.

I work with a lot of very high IQ people every day in Research.

That does not make me one. I just work with them and harder than some of them.
