My rockers have a groove worn in them where they ride on the valve stems - the valve stems look fine. This makes them kind of a pain to set the lash, lol. I know the best solution is to just replace them but in the semi near future I am building a new Y for my truck and pulling this one to build for another project. What about filing them back smooth for the time being? I'll be buying the higher ratio ones for the both new builds so this won't be a permanent fix anyway. Odometer read about 59,000 in the donor I pulled it from but who knows if it's the second go round, condition of the donor estimated it could be actual or not.
