Hello guys,

today i installed my roller rockers on my AFR185.
Three roller rockers did not sitting exactly on the valve
tip. What do you think? Is this within the tolerance?
Please look the picture.

I think it is an issue with your guide plates. I didn't like comp cams metal guideplates because it did the same thing to mine. I used lunati guide plates. They are individual pieces for each valve. I believe crane makes the same one as lunati.

Agreed. Something is throwing your valvetrain out of alignment. Running your engine with the rockers like that may very well work, but chances are you'll end up taking out a valve guide from the misalignment.
