FWIW- At half lift, the line that should be square to the valve centerline goes from the rocker's pivot center to the roller tip's center- not to the tip of the valve. This gives minimum "pattern" width, and also gives maximum valve travel at full lift. Note that this may not center the "pattern" on the valve tip- but that's not a concern.
