    As I was "Massaging" the rocker logs back together with a rubber mallet, one of the rocker arm tips popped out. The rocker arms were scrubbed thoroughly in carb cleaner and kerosene to clean 'em up.

    So, can somebody tell me how to this tip should be put back in?

    I am guessing, clean out the hole real good with brake cleaner and a pipe cleaner and then locktight it in there....any better advice?

    Thanx in advance!

    I believe you have the right idea. Get the strongest Loctite you can find. I usually use 271 for stuff like this but there might be something stronger available. Otherwise maybe a good used rocker might be had for cheap?
