On my last adjustment, I noticed I'm running out of room on the studs to adjust 3-4 cylinders on a head with 5k miles since NEW. I usually have to increase the gap, so this is gonna be a problem, like soon. The rocker arms have been recycled more than I care to admit. Am I loosing metal at the business end of these screws? Are just the replacement studs available or do I need to look for rebuilt rocker arms? Thanks!

Well I guess my main concern is this a sign of the valve stem stretching? they are usually tight before adjustment. anybody know?
