Too bad I didn't get my internet back until tonight.....on a slant it's always done from the pushrod side, or from a jigged pushrod (easier for the BL head user to degree in the cam without the head on in case you lose a lifter or have to pull the assembly, and allows one to check the piston rise in relation to the valve lift if running high compression before bending a valve the hard way). If you use stock rockers the ratio is anything from 1.46-1.48...so the 1.5 numbers will never work right for the end user...I had to go through a couple buckets of rockers just to get a nice uniform set that at least had a nicer ratio above 1.465 on my last hipo build.

Looks like you figured it out, but lurkers may need this tidbit when doing their build. FYI.

Thanks, D.I.
Yeah, figured it out and all is well.
