True, but you must also consider the amount of valve timing overlap to insure your not negatively affecting the cylinder fill rate.Originally posted by: galvanizedyankee

It can and is done on DOHC engines. But if the included valve angle is large, as in the older
hemi-heads. Great care must be taken to insure that the valves clear one another at over-lap.
Even then they can tangle with each other if for any reason they "float". Such as a weak or broke spring, or over reving...........

Very true but I have only "two- timed" m/c's and never run em' under 2000 RPM.
