The roller rocker don't just torque on there like the stock ones. <br />First you have to have the cylinder in which you are working on on top dead center, then tighten the rocker nut until there is drag on the push rod, then from there you use a torque wrench and torque it, only a half to 3/4 turn with the wrench or else they will be to tight, but make sure the spring isn't compressing to much because if it is then you need shims. Pedestal mount rockers aren't just a bolt on and go if you are using roller rockers, if you use stock rockers then you can just torque on and go, but not roller. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
