After checking around, this seems to be the story:

> -get new cast/forged rockers
 -plus new bushings.  Probably close to $300

> -build up a used spare set I have
> -Get these rockers rebuilt

This may be only $20-50 from rocker arm specialists. I'll sned along a spare 
set just in case. 

After studying the problem more, I think that either
-The rocker pads were too soft (RAS will re-profile and harden the pads)
and/or
-The offset rockers weren't aligned properly over the valves, and require 
"adjustment" of the pedestal positions to recenter.

A slight correction to the entry:

This should be Hirsch Court
