Crane Rocker Backed Itself Off im not blaming anybody but me for this one, although i tightened the jamnut as much as i could and somehow it still backed off. the rocker is in relatively good shape, the retainer/valve tip/locks are not hurt. a new rocker will be ordered and a 4.5mm allen SOCKET will be use to torque down the jam nuts too ...20? ft/lbs. when i heard it clunk i felt like this
