I'm in the middle and need some torque specs before I start to put everything back together.

Engine cover bolts
Cam bolts
Rocker bolts
Spark plugs
Valve cover bolts
Coil rail bolts

check out install university or ls1howto.com

All I know is rockers are 22ftlbs, or 24 if you use YTs. The rest I just go by snug +1/4 turn. Never had a problem.
