    Wondering if the pads can be replaced on a nailhead rocker arm? If so, source for the pad? Thanks in advance for your advice.

    Thanks Ted. Do you know if its possible to buy just the pad and I could replace myself? Rocker itself is in good shape, just the pad needs replaced/repaired.

    They can ALSO be refaced.
    Careful on the repo tips MANY times they are too thick compared to original which can cause MANY valvetrain problems.

    To what point can they be refaced eg. how much metal can be taken off ?

    .010"-.020" MAX. They are hardened & need to be ground to the proper radius. I have 48 in stock now @$8.50 each plus shipping costs.
