 +==== Rocker Arms ====
 +=== Lapping Tool for Rocker Arm Bushings ===
 +
 +A lapping tool can be made from a 1/2" wooden dowel and a small piece of sandpaper. ((photos by Hippysmack)) \\
 +Make the dowel long enough to run the full length of the rocker arm plus enough to get a hand on to turn it (12" or so). \\
 +Use a hacksaw blade cut a slot down the middle of one end to hold the sandpaper. \\
 +Make the slot longer than the bushing so you can be sure to have contact on the full length of the bushing. \\

 +
 +Initially cut a piece of sandpaper to go one full revolution around the dowel. ((photos by Hippysmack)) \\
 +Too many wraps will not slide into the bushing as it will then be too thick. \\
 +You just need to turn or lap the bushing slowly and evenly. \\
 +Grit of sandpaper will be determined by the condition of the bore and clearance desired. \\
 +Insert the bare end of the dowel into the bushing to lap and exit the dowel out the non lapped bushing. \\
 +This will allow you to basically line lap the intended bushing to help keep center between the two. \\
