The engine looks nice.

Sorry but I cannot make an educated judgement call on your valve train geometry based on the image of the valve stem tip; it tells me nothing relative to what I believe matters when setting up a valve train.

Oh my god is that ever true! And the application of mid-lift geometry clearly reveals which rocker arms have horrifying engineered geometry in them.

In the past, I have had others ask questions about why they can't seem to make sense of why their geometry seems to be so far off, usually because they are trying to get the roller tip in the middle of the valve via absurd pushrod lengths. In the discussions, they mention the rocker arm brand and I already know that brand to be poorly designed. AND SO, after exhaustively educating them on engineered rocker geometry, installed valve train geometry, and the theory of mid-lift geometry principles, they apply the mid-lift principles and return to the forum thread, saying, "so what I've just realized is that my rockers are crap."
