alright well those of you who know about my little 283 previous problems, im just posting this as a question and as information, now i know new parts are going to have a little metal teardown, but when i pulled off my rocker arms, all but 2 i believe had grinddown marks.. are all going to do that? see pic below....

and also, on only one, the self align sides, the one side could turn just about all the way around, and the bad thing being, if that little point had made its way down to a retainer, well theres more metal shavings there... see pic..

then when i went to pull pushrods, 2 of them were horrible... also see pics,



the one on the left is a good one, the middle one had SNAPPED the tip off, and the right one just got ground to crap. hence another source of metal shavings! WONDERFULL!!!

i guess im wondering if anyone else has had problems like this? with proform? was it something i might have done?
