Scott,
Here are the answers to a couple of your questions.
#3 Per society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) study, there is no need to go
to a "no Lead head" unless you are going to be putting a heavy load on the
engine for extended periods...like pulling a horse trailer over a mountain
pass.
#4 Contact Rocker Arm Specialist, 530-378-1075, email = rocker@c-zone.net.
He has rebuilt Healey rocker arm assemblies in stock. You ship him yours,
and he ships a good quality replacement. I have bought several from him.
