Yep. It is interesting that #1 exhaust rocker is the first one to wear out on my motor - fits the model.

This the reason I enjoy asking questions on this forum, I almost always learn something I didn't know before I asked... and explained in car guy language.

Thanks Derek

It is also the last rocker arm to get oil, as the shaft fills from the rear...
You would think that once the shaft is full, it stays full but there could be weaker oil delivery to the last one in the line.

Good point on the oiling too, Doug. There will be some pressure drop along the rocker shaft, so maybe slightly less oil to the foreward rockers. Might be a small effect, but could be substantial too...
