valvetrain geometry
i just measure for my pushrod length and i think the rocker geometry is pretty good.do ya'll think the pattern is good on the valve tip?
heres a vid of the geometry.

hope this is the right section.

It looks alright from here, but that doesnt mean ****.
take the rocker off, color the top of the valve with a marker, and put the rocker back on.
crank it over a few times, remove the rocker, and inspect the wear pattern

Yeah do what Adder said, that's how I did mine and it worked great. Also make sure you're using a solid lifter, if you're using one of the stock ones then it'll be inaccurate.

You can't use a collapsed hydraulic lifter because when your engine is actually running the pushrod will be too long. You need to use a solid lifter so it acts like a hydraulic lifter pumped with oil when your engine is running. The solid lifter doesn't compress when checking the geometry thus giving you an accurate reading.

if you want it to be right that's what you have to do. Or you can make a solid lifter out of one of your hydraulic ones: http://www.trickflow.com/articles/stroker_1/# Scroll down to where it says "Do It Yourself Checking Lifter"
