What on earth does reciprocating mass have to do with oil control? ... Oil column weight is relatively independent of pushrod weight as the oil is continuously flowing in one direction (ok, it's pulsed but whatever) whereas the pushrod is moving up and down. This is old news.
1) Look up what bulk modulus means in hydraulic engineering.
2) Oil column weight in aerated systems is variable.
So?
I just showed you different column weights in different pushrods. Maybe there is a SMALL influence there and maybe there isn't. The point is it doesn't matter. Results are what matter and the results are with larger pushrods.
I spend most of my day fixing what engineers screwed up so don't go and get all high and mighty on me.

Before you come in here eloquently throwing jabs............know what your talking about, and have some applied experience in the field!
It is obvious you have little to none!
What is obvious is that I bother to read and study what others with applied experience say and you don't.
Try doing some study in other related engineering disciplines.
As far as the study of other, I/we do it all the time. But we rely on OUR testing and findings. That is the difference. You study books and papers, while we work on writing new ones!
Not my job, we have a full engineering dept. that is well versed in many "disciplines"!

But you are ignorant of past and present contemporary parallel research. It is a common problem with increasing specialization and geometric expansion of information.

I guess you need to work on that osmosis-of-knowledge-through-proximity theory then.

+1 I had a similar experience when I was developing the spherical dish piston design for Nascar engines years ago. No one wanted to go away from their "mirror image" inverted dome profiles until it was leaked that one winning team was using them with great success. Next thing you know "everybody was trying/using/making them. "History" is ALWAYS past tense. While it "may" stimulate new ideas for the future, some of us work and play in the current world and let others write about it afterwards. None of us wear pocket protectors and very few smoke pipes let alone wear a lab coat.
Remember the "slide rule guys" in the 50's said a car couldn't exceed 150 mph in the 1/4 mile. True for the power at the time maybe, but "racers" proved them wrong.

Sharp readers will note that I threw away at least one patent in my remarks. Oh well.
My car won't turn corners, and you can't drag race on circle track straightaways or even pit the lanes or this might happen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSjhRLjf ... e=youtu.be
No traction & looks like no seatbelt harness either.

5/16 pushrods were most likely the culprit in that incident.
