That's interesting. I did (I guess) the same thing myself about 5 or 6
years ago. My rocker arm tips had indents in them from the valve stems and
some pretty bad pitting. I took my bench grinder to them and smoothed them
out so I could properly adjust the lash.
A couple of weeks ago I replaced the entire assembly; I should have
replaced it 5 or 6 years ago but didn't have the bucks. The rocker arm
tips still looked fine. And this is my daily commutermobile.
