Kultulz, Where are new rocker arm adjusters available from? I have been looking for new ones without any success. Either style would be OK, however I would prefer the lock nut style if I could get them. Thanks for any information!

JUST FYI 

O/S ADJUSTERS are available. I would prefer the locking nut style on a HP engine myself personally.

Rocker arms unlimited. Did run into a problem initially. The adjuster screws were defective. Kept backing off so changed to NOS jam nuts which did fix the problem.

The rebuild depends on the quality of parts, machining and assembly -

"Just have idiot oil pressure light."

You need to verify oil pressure. 

"I use non ethanol fuel. Will it degrade slower than ethanol fuel? Just curious."

It will not degrade as quickly, but will overtime. If it smells like varnish ... 

Today's gasoline (even E0) is not the same product as was available in the fifties and sixties.   

Were the rocker assemblies rebuilt?

Ted, thanks for the info. I will get some fresh fuel in this weekend and check with covers off.

It started after 10 seconds. Just have idiot oil pressure light.

I use non ethanol fuel. Will it degrade slower than ethanol fuel? Just curious.

If you didn't pull the valve cover, I assume you didn't pull the distributor to rotate the oil pump to get the oil flowing. After sitting for 5 months, how long did you have to crank the engine before it started? Do you have an oil-pressure gauge or just a light?
