Went ahead and milled the hold downs and got everything shimmed and spaced. I installed the new shaft spacers and mocked up a pair of rockers to measure the scrub and see how everything lined up. With the shaft spacer (+.150) the rocker tip is fairly centered on the valve, the adjusters are about 1.5 threads out and looks like it will allow oil to reach inside the pushrod cup. The scrub, the best I can measure is coming in between .035-.037, so a significant improvement over my previous .135 and not too far off the theoretical ideal of .031.

The only thing that seems strange is the pattern on the exhaust valve is not all the way across. I measured several times and each time it would be the same partial pattern. I am only rolling it over 720* by hand to get the pattern and I am running about .025 rocker clearance. I checked a few time to ensure the rocker was centered over the valve, so I am unsure what the cause is.

Everything is better with pictures


Spin the valve 180 deg & see if it changes, the valve tip might be faced at an angle,
