I didn't think they needed to be redone as well especially sice when I took them out they were in next to perfect condition. How important is it to have them done? During the disassembly both the Bentley manual and Wayne's rebuild discuss the importance of marking the location as to which the rockers were removed from and reinstalling in the same location. If I sent them off to a machinist, how do I make sure they get put back in the same place so they are installed in the same location? If I installed them the way they are without any machining, what do I risk?
Can anyone comment on this? If I'm going to do this, now is the time. I was under the impression that they just went back in all I had to do was make sure they went back in the same spot. Is that not the case?
