hey pococj i pulled the rockers and they had about a .001 shake at the pushrod side book says they should be .0005-.0025 so i guess they need new bushings i even pulled the cam cover and the lifters and lifter blocks all is good there i didnt pull the heads but looked at springs none are broke you think i should pull them and check them also? cant get new rocker arms obsolete but can get new bushings will have to take them and have them done as i dont have tools to do it myself will let you know what happens

If the recommended clearance is .0005 (a ½ thousandth) minimum to .0025 (2½ thousandths) maximum, then you say yours measures .001 clear. This is dead center (within a ½ thousandth) between the minimum and the maximum.
NOTE: I believe you misread the standard for minimum. Look at it again and see if it does not say .001 (stated as one thousandth) to .0025 (stated as 2½ thousandths) loose. The figure .005 is almost zero clearance, so I believe you misread something.
Result....? I cannot understand how you think you need new bushings.
Your clearance of .001 is still within the limits, and on the low side at that. If the bushings gave .003 or higher, only then, the bushings need to be replaced..............pg
