Stock LS1 Rocker Wipe

Hey guys, new here. I've got a question about the stock rocker valve wipe pattern. Sooooo..am I actually supposed to have a pattern?? lol The entire valve stem on all valves are completely shiny. I haven't actually marked the tip to check for a pattern but I would assume a shiny stem tip mean the rockers are going across the entire stem. Is this normal with stock rockers?? I do have a fairly large camshaft (liftwise) so maybe that's the issue. Just wanting some input guys. Thanks.

Some info on my setup:
LS1
GT12 Lingenfelter Camshaft 227/235 @ .050 - .614/.621 IN/EX
62cc Stage 2 CNC ported TEA 243s

Valves rotate/spin in the guides as they open/clise

Wow lol..duh. Thanks for the quick response though. I guess I'll mark them to check anyway. Sheesh..always a simple answer.

Thanks,

I've never actually checked, but supposedly after .600 lift the wipe pattern on a stock rocker goes to ****.

I tried to do wipe patterns on stock rockers unsuccessfully a few years back and was informed that the stock rockers will not give a good wipe. It's really only relevant for roller tip rockers
