In my rebuild I'm breaking all the many steps down into individual threads for comments on each.

In this thread I'm detailing my inspections of the rocker shafts, the rocker surface that rides on the shafts, and swapping the shafts so the rockers will ride on a fresh unworn surface when reassembled.

Proper credit is due to Old Fogey for his thread at NGW which turned me on to doing this in the first place.

Length of this video is 14.5 minutes, hope you have enough patience to watch the whole thing.
I'm trying to do everything straight to the point but still be thorough enough explaining what I see. I tend to get tongue tied sometimes, I can think faster than speak so excuse the slow narration.

Please comment on my procedures as well as any steps I might be overlooking.
