Default finishing project...pushrod quick question

camswap all complete, just waiting on pushrods in mail.
front cover, water pump, pulley all installed.
valve covers and coils are the only thing left obviously....

when I get pushrods in mail, do I just slide them in, install rockers at 22ft lbs each and then throw valve covers/coilpacks on, then be done?

***ls1 how to cam swap <--- has helped me a lot, but they DID forget some things***

cant wait to be done, is this all I need to finish? thanks!

I've done both ways. Thats the way my ls manual says to do it and I have never had any issues. Once I did it the way above then checked it with the old sbc way by verifying the lifter is on the base circle etc and checked the torque and it was the same. I do recommenced a little blue loctite on the bolts
