The bad thing once you get above a certain ratio is that the cup will be getting real close to the trunion and with enough spring pressure and cycles that’s where the rockers will break.
Thanks Steve, I understand that. I guess what I’m asking is, “is there a place to find what the distance from the reunion to the roller on a BBC vs Pontiac rocker arm.”
I spose they are all over the place & I wound have to mock everything up to know what I’ve got.

Thanks again!
