I've attached a pic of the wear pattern for cylinder 1 on the engine i'm assembling. From what I understand, this is how the wear pattern in the marker should look. Am I right or wrong?
Does this look correct?

Geez, leave your camera phone as a phone....
Based on the second one, it looks dead center, maybe a hair inboard. Looks perfect to me. Did you need to use custom length pushrods or did stock stuff get you there?

Actually that was a digital camera. I had to take 9 pictures in order to get one that looked decent. I had to play with covering the flash because it kept whitewashing the valve tip.
I bought a checker and then figured i'd try the stock pushrod first to see where I was. That pic is taken with the stock pushrod length, AFR eliminators, sitting on .015 gasket. Guess I got lucky and something actually turned out simple.
