i mean.... yeah?

at least the rockers, for sure. the valves might be able to be cleaned up insitu but i'd for sure be yanking them rockers and giving them the hairy eyeball and adiosing anything suspect.

if it's not manageable to clean up the valve tips, then i think it'd be reasonable to look at new heads if that's the way you're leaning. but for me, i like to solve one problem before introducing another variable into the mix.

So I think the rockers are in the right place, they are just a mix of different manufacturers. As far as I can tell the rockers have some wear - I just can't tell if that's enough to cause the tick?! And how do you clean up the tips of the valves? 800 sandpaper and taping everything off, so no metal gets into the engine?
