Hughes rockers

maybe im missing something but why would you shim rockers up?


wouldn't you just adjust your lash or shorten your push rods?
So as I understand it- as the rockers push down on the top of the valve they sweep and sweep out as I understand ? Soooo, again as I understand if the tip of the roller is already centered or worse towards the outside- you could risk the roller running off the top of the valve stem?? The remedy being to shim up the shaft to bring the rockers a little inside the the center so at mid- swep the roller is centered ??
PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong because this is what I've learned from reading the internet or at least the way I understand it.
