I think this line's mostly filler.

Closer to steak, actually, but a bit gamier. Someone who eats more varieties of meat would probably have a better comparison. I used to get ostrich occasionally from Whole Foods.

I forget which, but one of the groceries around here used to sell ostrich burgers. A little pricey, iirc. Never tried it.

Where else but SEMA will you see a 5ft high roller rocker with locking box wrench, adjusting allen wrench, and feeler gage?

I wonder what impels that roller to roll?
Why wouldn't it just stay in place? Or if it did ever find or develop a flatter spot, why would it move off that spot?

Flat spot:
You'd still have the roller 'axle' (acting like a hinge, for lack of a more eloquent description) which would still be better (less friction) than a regular rocker arm. It doesn't 'roll' all the way round like the wheel it looks like, I don't think.

Ok Grav, I don't take issue with anything you said.
I still have questions about that mockup in the picture. I'm having a hard time understanding how that configuration of the adjusting screw and the locking nut can affect the valve lash/clearance. How can they adjust anything while at the fulcrum of the rocker? Is the WHOLE rocker being lifted or lowered? And wouldn't that simultaneously change the clearance on the pushrod side? It looks ... I don't understand how it works. Here's a picture that has similar looking roller tip rockers but with the adjustment NOT at the fulcrum/pivot point, but closer to/over the pushrod end. THIS one I comprehend. https://www.chevyhardcore.com/tech-s...sh-like-a-pro/ ... I read some more, I guess I did intuit it correctly, I just haven't worked on one myself. The whole rocker does lift, pushrod side and valve side. Huh. http://garage.grumpysperformance.com...ng-valves.196/

Today I learned about Mike Mulligan, and his steam shovel, Mary Anne.
