On your bubbles.. i think when your bubbles match the adjuster will be in line with the valve stwm next to it. that should be at half lift .. not at valve clearance setting Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk
LOL Ive just come back, its been a long day, I have seen the light again lol. you could probably hear the penny dropping from where you are lol. I aligned the indicator pointer concentric to the valve stem and got 0.510" Divide this by 0.381 (spec lift) + 1.33, awesome. I'm now going to check the bubbles and adjuster to valve stem alignment.......................................... thank you
You didn’t do anything wrong but It’s what I meant by the maths not corresponding to reality. The cam probably doesn’t have exactly the advertised lift and the rockers are not exactly 1.3:1. And you might find each cam lobe has a slightly different lift. I’d still countersink the rockers so you don’t need so much of the screw protruding with a thick spacer under the pedestal. But I’m not going to keep saying it, what you’re doing will work, it’s not what I would do.

The cam lift looks like 0.392 as apposed to 0.381, if of course the 1.3 is accurate and allowances fir my human error. I had to reduce the temporary shim washer from 2.8mm to 1.5mm. I’m pleased I don’t have to change the pushrods. Here’s what it looks like. I’d attempted to counter sink a rocker but those mothers are rock hard. I used a spherical 14mm grinding ball. I’ll look at diamond cut.
