Mix and match valvetrain parts

[Cudajason]

I have my engine apart for a cam swap.

I have a seperat set of rockers and roker shafts off a 340. Does it make sense to look at all the parts and pick the best ones to put back on my 360. The rockers on it look fine, no apparent issues.

If there is any wear on the tip of the rocker where it rides on the valve stem you will now have more lift & they cam make a clicking sound as they ride past the normal wear area

Jason, I don't think there's any difference between either the 318, 340 or 360 in terms of the rocker arms or shaft. Springs, yes, with attending retainers and keepers though. I'd pick the 16 prettiest rockers and the prettiest 2 shafts and put them in. Mind the placing of the shaft retainers and spacers as they're different widths and the idiot who had mine off before I got it didn't know that. A wee dab of high pressure lube on all contact points is a good idea, too.
