Was cleaning up rocker arm assembly on the 235 and found the rocker arm shaft kind of funky. Worn spots. Can I replace it with the rocker arm shaft from my 216??? | | | | | Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 3,683 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 3,683 | Shaft from 216 will work fine. Use your 235 rockers and clean everything up really good.

Where is a good place to get these from?? | | | | | Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 3,683 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 3,683 | Are the rocker bores worn where they ride on the shaft or the tips?
Tips can be pretty easily resurfaced. Worn bores might be a little more complicated and require a re-busing or such.
Search for a recent thread, actually one I started, for a lengthy discussion. I think the title may have been “rocker tip wear” or some such thing.
My machine shop was able to source new shafts. I ended up using some good ones off a different engine. Not sure if new rockers could be found other than NOS.
