65 Barracuda daily driver
So I cleaned and inspected the old and the "new" rocker arms and shafts. The old shaft had some heavy wear around the oil holes:
A lot of the old rockers had this pointy raised spot on the surface that contacts the shaft:
I wonder if that caused the damage by the oil holes, but a few of the "new" rockers have a similar spot, but not as tall. I looked online at new rockers and they don't have it?!
Anyhow, the part that contacts the valve appears to have been refinished on the "new" rockers and a few are not perfectly smooth, but it's not that bad and I will try to smooth that out too.
