Description

A pioneering professional’s comprehensive insight to the previously confidential world of precision rocker arm design and application to Over-Head Valve competition engines. Written by the founder of the Patented MID-LIFT roller rocker arm geometry for internal combustion engines, and color Illustrated, Jim Miller explains the critical elements of valve train design and system integration with in-depth tech and terminology defined for pro and novice alike.Jim Miller has over 40 years in the high performance racing world as an engine parts developer and manufacturer for all forms of professional and amateur racing, who holds four valve-train patents. He is a pilot; an avid aviation enthusiast; and a hands-on domestic and international manufacturing engineer. He has been a published technical automotive, truck and motorcycle editor, writer and photographer since 1975. MID-LIFT.com has provided valuable insight and products to racers and engine builders from around the world, since 2003, where it continues today. (Retail: $87.50 U.S.) Read more

  • Valvetrain Geometry
Jim Miller goes into great detail on how to properly set up engine valve geometry. This book goes way beyond the felt tip marker approach. A must have for any engine person.

  • Interesting but not required for the majority of engine builders
I found the book highly educational and enlightening. My review and rating focus on the practical use of this book for the majority of users who are not NASCAR engine builders i.e., high sustained RPM usage. Miller spends a lot of time espousing that his method is the only viable method to determine correct valve train geometry. That is not correct or his methods and his book would be more popular and mainstream. Miller is certainly spot on that correct valve train geometry is required and complicated to arrive at. Miller is correct that many methods, including OEM approaches, are either not correct or inefficient. Miller’s use of geometry and trigonometry to determine valve train geometry are correct and well explained. However, Miller’s methods apply more to developmental engines where valve train parts are new designs and need to be designed correctly from the onset. Also, Miller’s book and methods apply to high sustained RPM race engines where valve train stability and max power are required e.g., NASCAR. Miller’s methods do not so much apply to common muscle car or import street engines where the user has assembled the correct (compatible) head and valve train components that are not a radical departure from tried and true combinations. For example, if you are building a GM LS engine, which does not have adjustable valve train in its stock configuration, you do NOT need this book to determine correct valve train geometry and pushrod length. Conversely, if you have this book, the LS builder would be advised to consult and use it, but at this price, I caution the buyer to consider their “street/strip” application and ask themselves if the cost is justified. It is hubris for Miller to claim that correct valve train geometry cannot be determine without strict adherence to his methods. That’s like saying no one understands geometry and trigonometry except Miller. Nonsense. I seriously doubt OEM engineers in today’s CATIA based design environment use Miller’s strict methods or even know about them. To put it another way, today’s OEM engineers know how to arrive at correct valve train geometry without Miller’s prescriptive method. If this book were more reasonably priced, which it is not, then a 2.5 star rating may be in order but to spin this book as “thee” one and only method to determine correct valve train geometry is like saying Tesla is the only one can build an electric car. It is not fair to say that the majority of engine builders don’t use Miller’s methods. It is fair to say that the majority of engine builders determine correct valve train geometry all day long without Miller’s book or even knowing who he is. Sorry Jim. ... show more
