NEED HELP!!!! I think hughes engines sent me 1.5 rockers instead of 1.6 ratio...ughhh

Dave, it's not uncommon for a production line 59* block to lose .030 or more valve lift through rotten pushrod angles. IIRC all you need is a 4* angle to lose ~7% linear motion.

If it was a 1.5 rocker, you'd be in the .480 lift at retainer.

You still using the solid lifter to check?
