[DeTomaso] Rocker arm alignment

[Asa Jay Laughton]

I would contact the vendor who built the engine.  Show them the photos  
and ask them what they think.  Go from there.

Vendors usually like the opportunity to make something right.  It's  
their business to do "good" business with people and if something  
isn't right, they usually like to make it right before they take a  
chance at ruining further business.

Not everyone works that way, so don't be surprised if they say "so  
what."  But give them the first chance to make it right.
