Default Need Tappet adjusting screws

I adjusted my valves and turns out my torque wrench was not very accurate. I ended up breaking a tappet screw, but I got it out of the rocker arm. I don't trust the strength of any of the other ones I had torqued either, so I am going to replace them as well. The problem is the part is on backorder and not available in the US. Does anyone else know if the adjusting screws from another Honda will work? Otherwise I guess I will be hunting for a used set of rocker arms.

Thanks.

I was looking at hondaautomotivparts.com and noticed the AP2 tappet adjusting screw is a different part number from the AP1. Does anyone know if the AP2 adjusters can be used in an AP1 head?

Let me guess: made in China, purchased from a popular online vendor with stores in many markets. I don't want to suggest names, but would the initials be "HF"?

Acutally, it was my Snap-On wrench. I will be using a dial guage wrench next time!
