Hi, David.B  If I may, btdt.B  When I rebuilt my 3A, I thought there were some
things that others could do better, faster, and cheaper than I, with
dependable results in the end simply because they are experienced from doing
so many.B  I went to Apple to have my calipers and carbs redone, and they are
flawless.B  I also went to Rocker Arm Rebuilders to have the rockers
completely rebuilt by experts for the rather amazing price of about $100.B 
Couldn't have done it myself for that.B  I think Rocker Arm Rebuilders were
recommended by the List when I was looking for a solution.
