Hi all. I am hoping someone can give me some good advice about new rocker arms to  suit 272-292 y block. I have replaced complete valve train during the engine rebuild and now have a problem.  The ball on the end of the rocker arm adjusting screw has worn away to about half its size and I am very suspect about the rest as a couple look like they are going down the same path.  All American made (suppossedly).  The new rocker arms, shafts. etc have done about 4-5 hours, if that in the shed.  I need advice as to what brand or type to buy this time. (no chinesium) This is not a good start for a new engine so i am suitably pissed off.  Thank you in advance.  Waiting patiently.  The pushrods came from FA products and are okay unless you know different the rockers came from another supplier.
