How Is My Wipe? Good Enough Or Get It Perfect?

[SledZ]

Almost all my wipes are identical (thank you machine shop) a couple are a little worse but not much. Can I get by with this? I had Delta do the rockers and had Isky re-grind my cam for a stage II and they sent .175 lash pads, along with new springs and retainers.

They look pretty good. Pretty well centered . So you are worried about them not being perfectly identical in the center?

I'd go a size down to .160", you'll get more valve lift.

Not too worried about being perfect if it's not that necessary. It would save some bucks and I could call it done. I searched for other pictures to reference and there are some that were worse than mine.

I just tried an original pad and cut feeler gauges to .160 and it made a little difference but not that much. Maybe I'll try to go down to .140 after work and see what it looks like.
