Pneumatic Valve Springs !

[TAR]

Mark,

What about valve float at 'higher' rpm's? I realize the pneumatic system
probably has less inertia than metal springs, but I still can't see how
they could effectively curb this problem without some type of Desmo system
(like that used on Ducati's).  Any insight?
