Missed on this combo?

Not sure what my plan of attack should be.

all that said, I still think I should have more lift at the valve. I'm checking my other engine when I get home. I'm betting I have somewhere around .627 (.640 minus .013 lash).
I'd suggest that you work on the rocker ratio and lift since you can control and execute on that work right now; it may not be the main problem but if something is off, it sure is not helping. Like many new builds, there is often a combination of problems and you need to iron them out one at a time.

BTW, the Bullet master lobe catalog shows that they just multiply lobe lift by rocker ratio to get to valve lift numbers, so using all the corrections is needed to get to what you really will see.

Now you want to make me go and check on some Hughes 1.6 rockers that we have.....
