Do you know if that article is available online? I'm not disagreeing with you or the article, just trying to understand, but I can't see where a larger ratio would cause increased wear on the valve guide or stem since the geo change is at the rocker arm end. The distance from center line of the stud/bolt to the center line of the valve stays the same.
