Some years ago, I developed an oil leak from the l/h exhaust rocker spindle gasket. I fixed it in a hurry but had to do it again and that's when I realised the tags on the plate were not engaging with the rocker shaft. I also discovered there is one hell of a large flat ground into the shaft as well [ far too much in my opinion as I have never seen much more than holes in shafts on the cars I have worked on over the years ], so it would do a lot of damage if it rotated too far.
I got a compression spring out of my supply box , shortened it the fitted it in prior to refitting the shaft. Easy and cheep fix. [ note the length was just short of binding, so it could not possible let the shaft move.]
