I purchased two PMA'd rocker arms for my A65 and I'm amazed at what I received. One was cast much thinner, ground so much it cut into the arm itself, and the oil hole at the tip was razor close to the surface touching the valve stem. The other one looked much better but I had to press out the newly installed bushing and align it so oil would flow. Installed the way it was sent would have surely been disastrous! Who monitors PMA parts? I guess it's up to the person installing the part to determine the actual airworthiness but I expected more quality control.
