The best fix is to replace the offending rocker. There are tools that
supposedly allow you to obtain proper clearance but I have no experience
with these - I think Gunson sells one called "Click-Adjust" or something
to that effect. I think there is a company listed in the Monster List
that rebuilds rocker gear for reasonable prices - you might check that out
too. >>
Another way is to set the rocker's with a dial indicator guage. You adjust
them until rocking the rocker arm gives you a reading of the proper clearance
on the dial indicator. I wonder too if the worn face of the rocker arms
could be ground smooth. I believe they are case hardened, but this could be
redone after they are ground.
