How did your camshaft look. That roller has disentegrated. I would think your cam was toast!!

Anyway, Gessford mentioned that the rockers were an early design because the adjusting nut was dead center and was later moved to one side of the rocker (I don't know why). 12,000 miles later, the rockers are still working good so they must be "OK" (I forget the brand).
