Rocker Removal and Repositioning
A friend, with lot of experience working on MB's and other cars, and I were removing the rockers on different sides of a 380sl engine when I noticed that he wasn't keeping track of where each rocker came from. However, when I admonished him for it and told him the MB manual says they should be replaced in their original position, he confidently replied that it doesn't make any difference because -- if i recall correctly -- "the cam lobes glide on a layer of oil that evens out any differences each rocker surface may have." So I was wondering what the experienced mechanics in the group had to say about this. Thanks very much in advance.
