The shop that I go to grinds them on, I believe the valve grinder. He showed me a set that had a circular indentation on each one that would make it impossible to set the valves.

If you can find someone with a Sioux valve grinder that has the attachment for grinding the valve end of the rocker arm they should be able to do you a good job of grinding it. You can do this free handed but it isn't as accurate as the machine. It is real important to do this so the rocker slides on the valve stem instead of trying to pull the stem sideways every time the valve opens.

a quality sanding drum in a drill press works good if you're careful.Lay the rocker on its side on the drill press table, strike it on the drum with a rotating action, lots of fun. If you're extra anal, make a small jig to hold the rocker.

Thanks for the responces, I guess after reading posts here and At other sites im going to be anel, not extra anel and build a jig. grin . this helps stope things like the very popular self adjusting oil pump end play problem, and the anti-theft sparkplug in the starter linkage device problem. THIS IS IN FUN grin grin .
