Had the rocker shaft off my TR4A recently and found several valve stem tips=
 pitted and peened over.=C2=A0
Metal was displaced so a finger nail could feel it. =C2=A0Would you call it=
 Galling? =C2=A0Head was done about 35K miles ago.
I've never seen this before.=C2=A0Stock Crane camshaft, valve springs and t=
ubular pushrods. Valvoline VR-1 20W-50=C2=A0oil.
The rocker arm pads have been ground at what was supposed to be the correct=
 radius. =C2=A0Don't know how to verify that.
Has anyone experienced this? =C2=A0How does it happen? =C2=A0My inclination=
 is to replace the all valves and rockers.

Thanks=C2=A0for any insight!
