G'day berger.
Lightened (just a little) and balanced the rockers. Removed the spring washers and replaced with shims (less drag). Tapered duralumin pushrods but their starting to wear so will be looking at VW rods to replace them soon.
Cheers

Perhaps not as acurate but reassuringly quick to put hex in a 3 jaw.:)
