Rocker tip alignment big block

[TheC5Surgeon]

Searched this and some other forums and get multiple answers. mostly the exhaust roller rocker tips do not seem centered on the valves. First big block build. It will be a 461". Pretty sure I got geometry correct with the smallest tip pattern on valve when measuring pushrod length. These are stock iron heads , 3/8 inch pushrods, manley 3/8 inch guide plates, and summit brand ( look like PRC ) roller tip rockers, clay smith flat tappet hydraulic cam. This will be a low revving highway hauler.
Question is do yall think this side to side off alignment will cause early issues with valve guide wear or something else worrisome? Or is this normal for a big block/not a big deal?
Thanks.

Matthew

I had the same thing after my rebuild. I ended up using adjustable 3/8" guide plates to keep them centered. I think they're AFR brand. I'm assuming your Manley plates are non adjustable? I would try to get them to run on center through the entire stroke. I'm running 1.8:1,1.7:1 Harland Sharp rollers.
