As Greg mentioned, there's a machinist near me that trues the tips on them. In talking with him on the last motor I dropped off, he did point out the main point of failure.. the lack of oil puddling at the top of the rocker. The factory rocker doesn't have a "cup" for oil to pool into and thus somewhat starves the bearing underneath. Nate, the machinist, is using the Smith Bros. trunnions, as he is thoroughly impressed with their quality. He's right at 420$, also.. but he trues the tip.. and that includes shipping. https://instagram.com/p/BBJHMcBwGQY/
