I always set the valve clearances , oposite ( side ) fully open .
dunno if any of these modern ignitions have a built in adjustable ' rev limiter / cut off ' . the THING would go STRAIGHT PAST ( or wouldve ) If you let it . Caugt 7200 once or twice .
But is there Tach Lag .
If we assume the MASS of the Valve is about that of the Follower , with the larger clearance , the acceleration of the followers already commenced , allowing it to ' throw ' the valve .
If your oil pumps any good ( Not Slack & wet sumping , at all ) there should be plenty of oil CUSHION in the mechanism . Al. has compresability , elasticity , and ' resonance ' ,
Therefore , if the pushrod absorbs liniarlythe initial force , and releases ( springs it ) in unison with the follower , the whole characteristics can be enhanced .
Which would explain a few things . SO AS , if your inable to try BOTH the .016 & the Std . theres no hope for mankind . by a ticket to Mars .
