the gauge needs to fit into the valve guide to be accurate. The gauge works fine EXCEPT when used in a worn valve guide.
So Drago and Berry should up with worn valve guides? In fairness to the champ I will not post anything else until all the info is out.

if there is beer in the bottle...
Alex I am no machinest, engine builder, tech guru, or benchracer... I also have no bone to pick as you know i LOVE mexicans
But the answer is right there above, nowhere did anyone say that anyones specific head has .006 slop inb the valve guide, it is simply stated that the tool has .oo6 slop built into it.
Since I am but a mere caveman, who can barely read or type, I have to leave the question for other much smarter than I is that to much slop or to little slop built into said tool?
If that is the tollerance and it is a known tollerance, I dont see how this differs from a minimum wieght of the crank or the rods etc etc. anyone can build said tool as designed and build their heads accordingly if they so wish. I am nothing but astonished at DDG claim that the builders dont have access to this tool, if they can build a motor producing 127-130hp with the new RP, my caveman brain say they are surely smart enough to make this tool at their own machine shops...

How many of us SM racers if we pulled our head right now and measured 16 valves would all be found to be within this tiny spec using that tool on every valve/guide?

You know the Hispanics love you too you landscaping motherheffer =)
Drago's quote clearly says that there is .006 of slop in a NEW stock valve guide, unless I read wrong?
You've basically touched on my reasoning for asking these questions. If the rules say you can go up to X and the shed has a tool that adds .006" and .003", I want to show up next time with X+ .009" on every valve cut. Wouldn't you? This isn't a witch hunt, Drago is the champ for a reason. He had a great car, race strategy, luck, lapped cleanly, and none of his sensors failed (bah!). I'm asking questions so that I can step up my "program" (to borrow a Steyn phrase), if those questions make people mud their pants and get defensive that's not my problem.

Using your logic why even have a spec if we're allowed to deviate? Tell me how much I can deviate and I'll make sure my stuff is right there, isn't that what we do with compression ratio already?

I had a set made and I know that every valve on my engines where tested. Dave
Dave has said on this forum many times that he is NOT comfortable talking about his tool.Dave, when you had your tool made did you allow the machinist the le-way with the -.0050 stem diameter or did you have a tool stem diameter that made more sence to the hole diameter in the valve guide?
Did your tool stem when inserted for checking travel the full length of the valve guide?
No dog, just curious.

I had a set made and I know that every valve on my engines where tested. Any compitent machinist can make them for little money. The new tools may cost a little more. We will have to wait and see what Sam comes up with

I think Frank's post had a little more mind/gutter ratio than you interpreted.
