Customer doesn't even know the lifter bank angles...."what is that? Ummm.....stock". OK that's unlikey sir and you should really find out, but if you're sure, sign here.

Well, it sounds like that's going to be a very smooth and problem-free build.

That does tend to happen.

Not the bank angle you're refuring to, but that phrase managed to dig this one up from the depths of my mind..

Ouch. I thought it was going to splash into a nice soft puddle.

Typically measured from a vertical line, as intake and exhaust lifters are often at different angles.
Illustration brought you by Hemi and their flipped intake rockers:

I have honestly never seen anything like that in the first person.

Pushrods running from a single camshaft to rockers which are offset by approximately the same amount you'd expect in a DOHC engine.

Tell me more about this manner of witchcraft.

It's how chrysler has done their "Hemi"'s since like the 50s or 60s. The Hemi's you can buy today in the chargers/etc have two sparkplugs per cylinder too, cause more is better? Not because the FAA requires it in FCA automobiles.

The rockers are typically on a common shaft.


We get silly and mill alllllll that aluminum out of there, rocker shaft mounts, spark plug tubes, all of it, and rotate the rockers so you can put bigger springs and longer pivot length rocker arms on there. Cause racers are silly.


I also did a kit that works with an unmodified head, cause some racers are sane.


Current NHRA Nitro (Top Fuel/Funny Car) rocker kit, also a Hemi.



There's no benefit to Hemi style heads in terms of flow/power over canted valve heads like below (current GM R07 Nascar engine, but the fords and toyotas similar).
