Question torquing down rocker arms question?

I did the dreaded 3-2 shift, and i hear a slight ticking. So today i plan on pulling pushrods and replacing etc. My question is am I suppose to use loctite and re-torque to 22ft lbs? Im hoping its only pushrods, anyways thank you.

I wouldn't use loctite on the rockers. 22 lbs should be fine. check all the rocker arm make sure its okay if you have an bent pushrod.

With ported heads blue locktite seals the threads so oil does not leak into the ports. If stock heads then no.
