Need help with lifter preload - and rocker arm bolt TQ I need some TQ advice about rocker arms on stock lifters and rockers.. I am using 22 ft lbs of tq – but I have also read to finger tighten the bolts and then make sure you tighten them 1 full bolt turn + ¼ turn.
My issue is – that once they are finger tight – some of them turn more than others – and I have tediously centered them on the retainer then finger tightened them..
What is the issue here? Should I just tighten them with a tq wrench @ 22 lbs and not look back or make sure the bolt is finger tight then 1 full turn which will be way more than 22 lbs of tq?????
Thanks for your input
