AllanD...Could you explain what your talkin about please? I haven't took mine apart yet but would like to know what I'm doing when i fix it. Where exactly would you grind on the rocker arm?
Ok, first myth to dispel, unlike a small block chevy the pushrods
don't supply oil to the valvetrain. they have solid ends.
The pushrod socket in the UNDERside of the rocker is fed oil from
a small hole in the top of the rocker.
They depend on spash oil to (hopefully) find that small hole and
lubricate the pushrod tip.
My thought was turning that small square edged hole into a
sort of "funnel" to try to gather oil into the pushrod socket
couldn't hurt...
The aftermarket solution is to mill out the pushrod socket and
press or weld in a hardened cup so that the rocker arm doesn't
start to break up the fragments of which gall/abrade the pushrod tip
