Hi all, I have been through the various threads regarding rocker positions on the valve stem top.

These are mine pictured on a newly built engine, and my question is... are they really supposed to be off centre? I have turned the motor over (by hand) and the arrows point to the path of where they contact on each one. All right of centre by just under 1mm

This motor and every single component are new, so its not got the pattern of a circle yet on the valve stem top from running as you would normally see.

I believe they are off-center. It's so the valve rotates.
