Yes, I posted the details back in mid-May on this list. In fact, you
were one of the first people to respond to my posting about rocker
shaft bushing problems. I just looked at my (saved) inbox, and it was
May 8 when I first mentioned the problem. It was a followup to
someone mentioning that the list was slow, and "was there anybody out
there?"
Then the title got changed to cam shaft bearings somehow, and then I
changed it to "new rocker arm bushings in" when I described how I did
it on May 11, 2007. If you can't find it, I'll forward it to you,
Peter....mine is the 2200A engine...serial # 2062, just a few numbers
before they switched to "wet" lifters.
