[AT] Bad valve on an M- Update

[HaliganBar at aol.com]

The rocker arm shaft on my MF is hollow and fed with oil from the center 
rocker arm shaft mount. The oil then travels inside the shaft and is directed to 
the rocker arms through holes in the shaft right at the rocker arm. The hollow 
rocker arm shaft has a cork (from the factory) in each end that's held in 
place by a cotter pin. If the get old and worn from heat and vibration, then oil 
leaks past them and the rocker arms may not get enough.
