I ask here since others might benefit as well from your insight.
Rob... I still feel a little stange posting replies in your thread, and appreciate the fact that you have told me several time it doesn't matter... as long as it helps the cause! I just try to be as respectful as I can, and don't want to take away from all the time and energy you have spent sharing your knowledge with members of this forum.

Jimmy... there are a handful advantages to the rocker arm set-up, other than it just looking cool.... here are a couple that come to mind right off the bat.

- It can help in packaging the components when space is at a premium.

- It can allow you to change the rocker ratio and have infinite adjustment in spring rate. You can do all sorts of things by tweaking and changing the rocker arms and their geometry.
