While servicing the valve train, and replacing one of the rockers, I noticed that one of them had a slight bend it. The bend starts at the rocker shaft, and extends to the valve end of the rocker. The distance off of center line is about 3/32â€￾ – 5/64â€￾. Wear pattern from valve stem looks to be centered on rocker’s pad.

Should this be something I should replace, or let it be. I suspect that this is a relic of one of five past blown engines from the car’s drag racing days.

If it's working and has a good wear pattern... I would leave it alone.
