Exactly what the title states..... I am getting ready to install the rollers on my edelbrock heads and was wondering if someone can tell me step by step directions on how to tighten/adjust the studs on the rockers to spec? what is the torq specs?

hey man i went throught this same ordeal with my twisted wedge heads. the way i had read about and adjusted them before is to thread the nuts on until you are at zero lash(when the pushrod does not bounce up and down or move around at all), then give them a half turnfrom that point to preload the lifters. after that then just tighten down the lock nut or allen screw until it is tight, probably around 40-50 foot lbs. good luck with the build.
