Allen -

Are you talking about the Rocker Arm pedestal?  if you need it restored,
just send your whole rocker arm to Rocker Arm Specialists.  HIGHLY
recommended and he will fix all that for you:

I had him rebuild my rocker arm assembly (same as the 100) and he replaced
that pedestal which had the bad threads.  His prices are VERY reasonable.

Incidentally, when assembling the rocker arms, it is better to put the oil
feed pipe on the rocker pedestal first, then connect it to the head second,
not the other way around.  If you do that you'll never have stripped
threads.
