Guys,
I'm working on a 1976 2F engine rebuild and the rocker shaft I have has seen better days, looks like a few of the rocker positions are worn around 0.010" out of spec. A new replacement rocker shaft looks to be NLA. I was wondering if I could:
1. Use a 3F rocker assembly (shaft and rocker arms)...if so, can I use my existing towers/stands, fasteners, lifters and pushrods? I'm thinking the pushrods I have would not be applicable as the 3F rockers have smaller lash adjustment screws, correct me if I'm wrong here. Also, on the 2F, tower #4 is for oiling, is that the same on a 3F set-up? What hardware would need to be replaced to accommodate the 3F rocker assembly?
2. Are there companies that will repair/re-chrome rocker shafts?
3. Other ideas?
I did put a wanted ad on Mud, will see what shakes loose.
Thank you!
