anyone else heard of this or can confirm it?
Oh yes... years ago running circle track we had a rule for max lift at the valve. On paper my total lift was within spec, but when checked by officials after a feature win, my advertised 1.55 rockers were closer to 1.6xx and put me over the limit. You almost need to check with a dial indicator or work with a known source to have an exact number.
