so i am going over the 2020 Akra rulebook with a fine tooth comb. (still haven't managed to get thru to akra for a new version )
i came across this part,
"BS lifters only, no modifications allowed. Over-all length of push rod 5.285" max, 5.230" min. Push Rod must be of 3 piece design (Hollow or solid tube with 2 solid ball ends). Lifter Head diameter .915" min with no visible modifications. Weight check lifters 18 grams min and push rods 9 grams min. Machining to bottom of lifter allowed. Bottom must remain flat. To be mated bottom to bottom at tech to a known stock lifter. No other machining to lifter allowed. Weight rule still applies."
well nevermind they say no modifications allowed and then go on to say how you can modify them... my issue is that the bottom of the lifters is NOT flat from the factory! at least none of the ones i have are... if you hold them up to the light you will see they look like this:
====|)(|====
all be it, very very slightly
What sense can be made of this???
EDIT: i understand why there is a slight dome, i am just curious if this is ever truly teched and how any many people get thrown out because they arent perfectly flat from the factory.... also i dont know how you could ever (dyi) "machine" weight off of the bottom of them and keep the dome. I was going to go to town with sandpaper, until i saw the dome. I cant sand a dome into them, i can only sand them flat. and then they wouldnt spin as designed.
