I need new rocker arm shaft seals for a 1983 3.0L. Anyone know where I can get some? Thanks,

Tho I have the things in my motor, I gotta agree with the Cap'n. I read of a lot of leakers & walkers....more of the walkers. I also read of the supposed cure...over torqueing.
Following Mr. Andersons instructions and factory recommended torque, I've had zero problems with walking and with the seals (my bores were pretty torn up
as the previous builder put sealant in the bores...I had to beat the shafts out) zero oil leaks....I did a nice job or refinishing the bores, but couldn't go deep enuff to take all the dings out.
