Default Torque spec for Tella-Yellow roller rockers?

...tearing down the top of my engine now.... I need the torque reading for these..

I believe these were the only bolts on top of the motor that use lock-tight on the threads; right?

If a valve spring retainer was tearing up, would you see this without removing the rockers? There are NO busted metal pieces in either head and everything looks OK before, I remove the rockers....?????

Thx...

Never heard of that brand before, but the bolts should still be 22-25ft-lbs.

Rocker arm torque is 22 ft lbs, don't try 25 ft lbs as your going to strip the threads in the head. I use Permatex anaerobic gasket maker on the intake rocker bolts if the cylinder heads are ported.

Remove them in the firing order as well, this helps keep the load off of the threads in the aluminum head.

Nope. Usually antisieze, or thread sealer for the ported heads, then 22-25ft-lbs depending on the bolt.
