Before I state the following, how long did it take for the stems to wear
the rocker noses after you did the grinding?
I will say that I just put over 400 miles on the car this past Friday
and Sat. morning, and there's no appreciable change in the noise, or the
pattern of noise, as yet. Doesn't mean there may not be some in the near
future, but the rockers seem okay thus far.
