Hey everyone, I just started to think that when we did my cam swap until 5am a couple months ago that we may have forgot to torque the rocker arms to 22lb ft. I believe we just tightened them all up and got her done. My cam has now been in my car for 3k miles and tuned and put down 385hp and 378tq. A couple weeks ago i pulled the passenger side valve cover and all those rocker arm bolts were still tight. My engine has hardly any valvetrain noise. Would you all go ahead and remove the valve covers and torque them to spec or just check them for tightness to prevent loosening the tightening them again and potentially breaking or stripping something?

do you all think i am possibly losing some hp by not have them torqued all the exact same?

thanks!

I would go back and re-tighten them.....which I always do anyway after they have been taken off. I usually wait a few hundred miles before I re-check them.

Follow the GM procedure and re-tighten. It won't change hp at all but at least you will know they are correctly installed.
