        A while back a friend gave me a box of TR parts. Among the stuff
        were about half a dozen rocker arms... Free is swell but I've got 
        a little problem... The adjustment screws all are frozen in place, 
        and I can't budge them. I tried putting WD 40 around the base of the 
        threads to see it it would free them. Heat would be my next move but 
        before I go get the torch, I wonder if any of you guys have any 
        bright ideas on how to proceed. Or, for that matter, if getting the 
        torch would be a wise move. I'd like to salvage these little 
        buggers... (ya never know when a rocker arm may come in handy).
