72 Midget Rocker Arm Lock Nuts

[cciaffon@cisco.com (chuck ciaffone)]

Helppp!

Does anyone out there know the thread specs for the rocker arm valve clearance
adjusting nuts?  I took one to the hardware store, and matched it to a 1/4x28tpi
bolt.  Threaded right on.  Got a couple of 1/4x28 nots.  They won't even start
on the rocker adjusting studs.  What gives?  Some kinda magic threading?

Also ... When you replace a vlave cover gasket, do use gasket compound,
grease, or nothing at all?

thanks for all answers
