Maybe there IS a West Coast rule book after all.

Mark, there were some guys welding up the pushrod sides of their rockers and no one in tech had issues with that. The rocker had to stand a lot of heat in that process. The problem seemed to be that if the rocker got too brittle, it would break anyway.

Clark cuts out a section and welds a solid piece in place. I know he asked tech if it was ok and they said it was. I don't think that eliminates someone from doing the same on their own. It would be a difficult chore unless you had the equipment and time.
