As part of my on going rebuild of my series I've started a rebuild on the engine. It has the 2.5na and the rocker shaft is worn as are all the rockers and I was wondering do the bushes in the rockers need reaming to fit or are they ok to go as is. Thanks

Far as I know, just replace the shaft and any worn rockers. There's no reference to reaming in the manual. When I did it, it wasn't required as the bronze bush of the rocker was fairly loose fit on the shaft.
That said, if the rocker won't go on the shaft, it might need reaming.

Thanks for that, I have the shaft and have to order the rockers now. It starts adding up getting all these parts.
