any advice on this would be very much appreciated. Am doing the old indian rope trick and replacing the valve stem seals. And what a bugger it is. If you don't get the nylon rope in the pot exactly right, then the valve does not hold completely still and you can't get the collets to pop out.

Anyway, the previous owner, it seems, did the same job a while back but stripped one of the threads for number 6 rocker arms. Bearing in mind there are 4 normally, will three hold it?

Or can anyyone offer any advice about how to restore the thread?

many thanks
