Yeah there still a bit of thread however when u stick the rocker arm on there and the thread goes through the rocker arm hole the thread does not stick out far enough from the rocker arm for the bolt to catch a thread ??Any ideas Folks?

Remove the stud - stud extractor, mole grips, heat... if you're not comfortable doing the work, get an engineer to do it.

Alternatively, I have a very, very good CVH XR2i/FRST head in Essex if you'd like to make me an offer on it.
