You should check the rocker shafts. The ends get really worn. The
rockers get really worn where the cam runs on them, usually are dished
faily deep as well as the end that hits the valve stems. Don Laughton
was always amazed that the aluminum alloy housings didn't wear at the
point of contact with the rocker shafts, I would check there as well.
