Hughes Engines 1.6 Rocker Geometry/Setup

Gotta agree with you guys here. You can stab your cam in dot to dot and the engine will run with the cam timing a few degrees out, but you take the time to degree the cam and get it right. An engine will still run when its out of ballance - but you pay someone to ballance the rotating assembly and get it right. The correction kit is about $200 if I remember correctly - small change to prolongue the life of your valvetrain components, regain some of the lift lost through the valvetrain and ensure its rock solid when you beat on it. Plus if someone is going out of their way to provide this kind of service, it's good to support that.
To the OP - the rocker sweep looked "OK" with no correction on these heads and rockers but check how far the shaft centreline needed to move to get it "right".

Cam degree? Balancing?.. this is why I have these Yahoo's on ignore.. they're constantly stepping over donuts and eating dog poop .. LOL...
The picture looks like it does more to correct the push rod then anything...
Did you have to redrill the push rod holes?..
