273 adjustable rocker conundrum..

I got looking at my factory rocker arm setup. Curious to see where the "interference" is.
The adjuster took some pretty good effort to remove from the rockers.
I ran a tap down the threads of the rocker and I could almost do it by hand, minimal effort.
I spun(or tried to) a 3/8 NF nut on the adjuster, i got about 3 threads on and she tightened right up.
I reinstalled the adjuster and it threaded into the rocker, fairly easily. Still took some effort a socket and ratchet. But definitely easier after gently running the tap.
So I'm thinking the interference is possibly in both rocker and adjuster?
Trying to find a good grade jam nut locally is proving difficult.
I found grade 2 for 0.25 each lol.

My adjuster nuts from the crane rockers were about half that thickness if that...
Almost like if you could slice that nut in half you'd get two... I have to agree I was finding that of my rockers would unthread and thread in easy or very hard and then I could just change the adjuster and it would thread in a lot stiffer and one that I pulled one out of easily..
