Rocker arm geometry question.

Building my first type 1 and am wondering if this will work or not .At half lift the adjustment bolt doesn't line up with the valve stem. Is this an issue. Looks like I would have to lower the rocker shaft by machining head or rocker holding blocks to fix. any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

Is the adjuster collinear, parallel or neither, with the valve stem?

yes collinear just don't line up.

Problem solved. Didn't know the rocker shaft holes are bigger on one side so shaft mount wasn't sitting on head.

Also. Make sure the shaft mounting blocks are the right way up. The split goes upwards.
