Rocker arm measurements

It would require moving the rocker shaft around a bit, but I ground part of the "bushing" out of one, & put another bushing "saddled" up against the remaining valve-tip end of the orig bush., ends up a 1.7/1.75-ish rocker. Haven't finished one yet to see the difficulty w/the oil passages yet etc................

That's pretty good ingenuity. I wouldn't have thought of that. I was thinking more about getting away from the folded up sheet metal rocker arm. Do you have any pictures of what you did?
