Thanks, got the lifters changed out, with cam lube, the rocker arm bolts are torqued down, but some of the rockers seem a little loose while others are tight. Is this because the lifters are not pumped up yet? Anything I should do before I turn the engine over?
ironman_gq
turn the engine over so the load is off the rocker before you tighten it or your torque readings will be off

OK now I'm concerned. I installed them all and tightened down the rockers. How will I know there is no load on them when I turn the engine over (by hand?)? So do I do this for each rocker arm?
ironman_gq
just go till the valve is all the way closed and then tighten them that way the only load on them is the lifter preload if you tighten them with the valve open the valve spring will load the lifter and throw off the torque value
