Hi  guys-
I have a question. I sent a bunch of parts off to be zinc plated.  I  
inadvertently sent some rockers, guide plates, push rods and  the  
rocker arm studs with the rest of the nuts and bolts to be  plated.

Should I trust the zinc plating to not come off and do damage  or  
should I toss this stuff.



I would dump the rockers and the pushrods, but use the guide plates and if  
they will still screw onto the upper head studs, the rocker arm studs. Plating  
of threads is problematical. It may make them hard to thread on and hard for 
the  adjuster nuts to thread on, or stay on. That will certainly answer Bob
