Rocker arms

["Allan Weidenheimer" <allanw@domain.elided>]

While we have been on this subject, if anyone checks
into sources and prices for new rockers and shafts,
could you please share with the rest of us?  When I
did my rebuild, I did not replace any, though at the 
time I could have easily had new ones via Moss Truck
(IHC Dealer) in N. Seattle.  But funding limitations
prevented that.  I did have a fair amount of wear on
my folded steel type rockers.  Anyone know when the 
boat style was introduced?

I also wondered if it would not be possible to have the
'bushing' in my folded style machined to accept a 
torrington needle roller bearing, ala' 'roller rockers'
for my IHC.  Not sure if there would be enough metal
left though, and I'd need a new shaft anyway due to the 
scoring I'm sure exists on my present units.
