Rocker arm shaft

Post by The_guythatseeksHELP »

Hello Everyone!

I'm trying to design a cylinder head for my motorcycle and I'm having major issues whether where to place the rocker arm shaft? Like, How high it should be from the tip of the valve and what angle etc. Or my only reference are the valve clearance? Also, the rocker arms that I will be using are K Series ones because they're heavily available in my country.

Thank you in Advance!

So what is your problem? How to model the head or the geometry of the head itself. In both cases we need an exact description of the issue. If it is the geometry of the cylinder head, a hand made doodle may help. And the file so far can help as well.

It appears that the help requested is related to engine design, not FreeCAD. If so, that is pretty far off-topic for the forum.

If not, then a better description of the FreeCAD issue is needed.
