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.
