In doing a 125-Kmi valve job, I replaced the exhaust valves, renewed the
intake valves, and changed guides all around. There is some wear on the
rocker-arm surfaces which contact the valve stems.
-Question 1: Can I use the rocker arms as-is, even with the new valves?
-Question 2: Can/should these surfaces be ground smooth, or will that
compromise hardness?
The adjusting screws were jostled out of their carefully arrangement in
storage, so there's no way to match 'em with their push rods (dohhh!). I
don't see any significant wear marks, though.
-Question: Should I just put 'em in and hope for the best, or is there some
magic way of making sure there'll be no problems?
