I have the message: ¨valve float is occuring and reducing lifespan¨
How can we get under control the float valve?
P.D.I think i could have problems with translation of english technicisms ,

When will we have spanish translation?

This is valve float

I know what is the valve float, But I didn't know how to control it or what parts control it in game exactly.
The problem is when i reduce the bore´s value, i want to have the same 8000 cc, and have to increase the stroke, after that the horsepower reduce drastically.
The same problem is when i put more valves.... I have 4 valves/piston, if i put 5 valves/piston i can´t control the VVL values.
If i have a flat V8, with 8000cc and 870HP, a lifespan around 76000...(i think isn´t bad values for that engine, with twin 4 barrel´s carburettor and performance intake), why is it saying me is reducing lifespan?
Thanks

morgoth is right about how to cure it, if both these options are not acceptable: reduce the RPM limit, that cures it as well.
The Spanish translation is done and will be checked in the next few day to then be released with a patch to the public version.
Cheers!
