I have been following along on the discussion on rocker arm geometry in the New Trick Flow Head thread. There is a lot of great information on there with a great video link by Scott Foxwell but decided to create a new thread on the topic.
My question was eluded to in that thread but being a newbie I need a little more information/clarification. My build will have BBM heads, factory non-adjustable rockers, a hydraulic roller cam and Morel hydraulic roller lifters. Using the factory "shoe type rockers" what are the parameters to consider to obtain correct rocker arm geometry? How do I verify rocker to valve tip contact? Is it possible to use the 90 degree perpendicular goal at mid-lift? Do I even need to worry about any of this with stock non-roller rockers? I gave away my rocker tins since I was told they would not be compatible with BBM heads. As a minimum do I have to compensate my rocker stand height to compensate for the height of the missing tins? I have to order my pushrods soon so I would like to make certain of my rocker setup first. Thank you.
