So when setting up the rockers and such noticed i had to get some adjustable guide plates, well i set them up side to side,and went along to setting cold lash, when i noticed turning it over that the pushrods were binding, i had to deepen the slot on the guides about 1/8" deeper, now no bind,everything seems to be ok now that i cut the slot deeper, is this something someone has seen before?Or is something else going on.I measured for correct pushrod length.

What heads, and what method did you use for checking push rod length?

I used comp cams adjustable p/r checker .050 incriment.Here are the roller tip patterns.They look fine to me from what i have read.Please comment.

Those patterns are way too wide
Forget the center of the valve tip you want the narrowest pattern you can get that is reasonably centered like within the center 2/3rds of the tip regardless of whether it is dead center
My guess is you need a longer pushrod to get it correct
Perfect would be starting at position "A" on the inboard or intake side
Rolling out to "B" towards the ex side at half lift
And returning to position "A" at full lift

This will put the centerline of the rocker fulcrum & roller tip at 90° to the valve stem at half lift
You may need to fudge this slightly if you get to close to the edge of the tip unless you want to purchase different rockers

Blu56...curious why you're running lash caps...are those Ti valves?
Wolfplace is correct. The location of the roller on the valve tip is secondary to getting the rocker in the right relationship to the valve which is 90deg. @ mid lift.
Here's a link to a write up on rocker geometry: If you can wade through the nonsense I think there's some good info there.

X2 on the wide pattern. I may just not be looking at it right, but the first pictures looks like the inboard & outboard ink patterns aren't parallel. If that's true, something else is out of true...
