Other mods correct issues or help with longevity. One of our members had 150,000 miles on his bike when he rebuilt it last year. His cylinder and head were in virtually new condition, only the valves and rockers needed replacement. The cam bearing surfaces were pristine and the camshaft was still very nice.
His bike was still stock and the engine itself had never been cracked open.
He didn't change the rockers. I know.. I was there and talked him out of it.
He wanted to buy new ones with the hardened surfaces "just in case", even though the originals looked fine. I wanted the bike back together.
The arguments were violent.. it was ugly.
Apparently the picture in my mind of a set of rockers was from a different engine, my apology for the error. I've been thinking about this and I am not sure if you even sent the top cover with the head ? Seems like you didn't now.
The brain is not so agile as it once was. 😜
