Run in stand

Jay, you should design a run in stand to test the rocker assembly's durability. Have some way to apply standard oil and spring pressure. It could be driven by an electric motor. Run it for several hours at cruising speeds, or spin it up to 8000 rpm (or would that be 4000?) to test for 1/4 mile applications. It seems it would be a lot cheaper than the other alternative.

Maybe you could use a junk head as the foundation (assuming one is available)?
