Hughes rockers
Here is my 'wipe pattern' below. This is pretty much what you are looking for. Maybe some of the pros out there might disagree but for my application, it was not necessary to screw around with it any more. My combo is RHS heads with 2.02 valves, Comp solid flat tappet, zero decked factory 340 block, Fel Pro 1008 head gasket, Hughes 1.6 Rocker arms, shafts and hold downs. Don't remember what the I.H. of the springs were but they are pretty stout, I have almost .6" lift.
Prior to ordering pushrods, I mocked up the valvetrain and measured everything with a checking pushrod. I did not torque the heads, just snugged the nuts down. After I was satisfied with how it looked, I sent the checking rod to Hughes and they made the pushrods for me.
I also used this plate from AR Engr. to check the max lift of the valve. You kinda need it to do the 'mid-lift' thing right since you need to verify what the actual mid-lift is. Again, this is a time-consuming process that requires attention to detail and patience.
