Just some feedback on this -
Basically, you should install the banjo bolt w/oil feed pipe onto the
rocker BEFORE installing the rocker onto the head. This will make sure the
banjo doesn't strip out the pedestal when it doesn't line up with the
rocker shaft oil feed hole.
I was able to source a new pedestal, and it went on no problem. The outer
pedestals are a slight interference fit and was tapped off with a plastic
mallot, the inner pedestals come right off.
All fixed now.

Hah. I was going to suggest you send it to <a href=3D"http://rockerarms=
.com" target=3D"_blank">rockerarms.com</a>, but
figured shipping would be prohibitive.<br>
<br>
BTW, when did rockerarms rebuild your shaft? There's been at least
one change of ownership and a name change, I think, and responses
have been spotty. They did my BJ8's shaft many years ago, and it=

held up well.<br>
