rocker arm/shaft play
I am doing the valley gasket on my DII. I have a tick from the drivers side of the valve cover. When I took apart the DS rocker assembly this is what I found:

The arms do have play on the shaft. You can see where the shaft is worn. Should I replace the arms/shaft?
In addition the date codes on the arms are 99. There is a bulletin about date codes prior to 00 having loose pushrod cups: http://www.landroverclubvi.com/uploa...ping_sound.pdf
I can get arms and shafts for both heads for $155 shipped from land-rover-parts-shop.com.

I got the drivers side completely disassembled. The towers were tough to get off, but not as bad as yours (Buzz). I was able to twist them off, I did have to put a bolt through the shaft and another one part way through the tower to get more leverage to turn them.
I wont be able to work on it again until next weekend. Heading to the beach for the week. Hopefully the parts will be in by the weekend, but I don't think they will.
