I think if you were careful this would be fine. Just be careful not to leave 
behind any of the abrasive in the rocker box where it will mix and circulate 
with the oil. 

I often take a mill file to my sealing surfaces to remove scratches. I've only 
done this when the heads are out for an engine rebuild, but you might consider 
this option. A file will never leave behind a piece of grit to get in your 
engine.
