Re: One more on the checklist for your rebuilder

Is it Ok if I bump this thread? I just finished cleaning my rocker shafts & it went pretty smooth. Instead of disassembling everything, I used hose clamps to keep all the parts in order when I removed the cotter pins. You can use a self tapping screw and a couple of washers to extract one plug & simply drive the other out with a long rod. Once you have gotten this far, a 38 cal bore brush in a parts washer makes everything pretty copacetic inside! It was easy to slide the rockers up & down to make sure all the chunks were gone. The un-drilled plugs were suitable for re use but @ $ .50 apiece, I thought what the heck. Now everything is clean & happy. Just remember to remove the clamps and install NEW cotter pins.
