I have a curious question for the mechanical gurus, what do you think is the limitation of the hydraulic system? do you think that with the correct springs, it can hold around 10.5~11mm of valve lift?

awaiting for your replies, thanks.

E.
no. The valve will bottom out on the guide or the spring will coil-bind before you reach those heights in lift. If you are modifying the valvetrain, HLA's are only going to cause variables and inconsistancies
