Reality:
1. Misplaced the dayum rocker hardware to install 'em... finally found it almost an hour an a half later "hiding" underneath some shop towels about 6" from the first place I looked
2. Also found my valve spring tester calibration spring during the wild goose chase for the missing rocker hardware and confirmed I can't put too much faith in one of those $100+/- testers, which is the same conclusion I came to the last time I used it (and suspected it wasn't reading accurately any more)

End result: Basically... no progress

Next step: See if I can squeeze in another hour of car time tonight and pick up where I expected to start last night.
