Why so close?

Put my head together today and found that cylinder 2 inlet rocker pad was quite offset on the camshaft lobe.
the rocker adjusting roller is central on the valve stem.
Everything is installed correctly.

Does this mean the cam is maybe ground wrong.

Parts:
Schrick 272
IE heavy duty rockers
OEM everything else.

it looks like you did not fully seat the cam. or the seal that holds the came in inst set fully

Yes i thought that too.
But i know that it is fully seated.
And number 2 inlet is the only one offset.

are the rocker shafts locked in place with the key?

anyway, the way it looks doesn't seem like there's really a problem.

Yes

Has anyone else encountered this with a schtick cam.

The entire bearing surface of the rocker is on the came, therefore there is no problem with its position.
