Default rockers

I put a set of these on a few weeks ago. Piece o' cake. Turn the rocker down to zero lash, then eight 1/4 turns, ten minutes apart. This gives you two turns past zero lash and allows enough time for the lifters to bleed down. P.M. me if you have other ?'s. I might still have instructions if you need them.

I have installed these several times. Personally, I don't like going the full two turns. This results in a preload of 0.132" which is near the bottom of travel.
