Great article.
Unfortunately, it didn't explain how to for my dodge. For me to change contact on valve tip, wouldn't I need to shim the rocker shaft?.
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

Not sure that I understand, but don't you want your rocker contact point to be exactly centered on the valve stem when the valve is exactly 50% open? That will center the roller on the valve stem for the full travel of the rocker, equal (and opposite) distances from the exact center point when the valve is closed and 100% open. The only way to shift that contact point is by adjusting the pushrod length on a rocker shaft setup, as I understand it?
