Jake's site is down it seems, so I am going to ask this here.
I am about to set my pushrod geometry, but I am having a brain fart. Do I use the peak cam lift or the peak valve lift. I think that it has to be within 5% of peak valve lift, but I am just not sure, and I don't want to mess it up. Also, does anyone have a copy of Jakes article for setting geometry? I pretty much remember the procedure, but I'd like to re-read it before I continue to make sure I have it right. Zach |

I measured it at the valve. It was easier to set up the dial indicator on the valve spring retainer.
