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

Grady

At the club race last month, we broke a rocker shaft.
Of course this caused a leak on the track and we noticed some oil smoke.

car was running fine at the time, but we came in so as to see why there was oil dripping onto the header.

I'm glad we did come in.
I would have hated to see us finish the practice session, reving the car out to 7300 and having the completely loose rocker decide to move.

I was glad it leaked and started thinking about this.
I think I would want mine to leak as a warning that something funny was going on in there.

pull your valve cover and double check your shaft isn't broken at the very least.
