I agree. You've done some nice work so far.... I hate seeing little things like this 'throw a rocker arm' into your plans.

And not to be a ninny.... but you should just remove the chaos completely from this equation. Keep the rockers, and scrap the rocker towers and dowels. They have been torqued down with foreign stresses on them - aluminum is soft.

If you can't get them where you live, I have a set lying around if you can cover shipping from 'merica to your pond.
