Something racers should keep in mind is spare rocker arms in case you break one. Here is a point that is sometimes overlooked.

You have set up your valve train for lift within the specs but you break a rocker arm. Will the rocker arm you install in place of the broken one meet the lift spec? While setting up your valve train, check a few extra rockers to keep as spares. Be sure that the spare rocker will meet the lift spec no matter which cylinder it is placed on. In teardown we may check any cylinder and that does not necessarily mean it will be #1.
