how to know if geometry is correct (pushrods, valve train)

I currently have crane 1.6 rr , thinking on getting some scorpion 1.7 rr, should I be worried about the valvetrain geometry ? and how do I check it? I have the hotcam now I think that the lift should be .556w/ 1.7 am I correct ? thanks

The only way to be sure is to visually check the geometry. The rockers need to be centered on the valve stem tips. They also need to sweep across the center of the tip when run through a full lift cycle. A dab of thick assembly grease works good to see where the rockers sweep across the valve.
