If that's incorrect, please let me know.
Which long bolt in the sequence did you stretch ?

Most people torque the angles by drawing a dot at the 12 o'clock position on the bolt head. It ain't exactly a precise science.

I think if it was mine...I'd send it.


*But, if you don't...definitely go ARP.

It was the 3rd bolt in the torque sequence, or the 2nd upper bolt in from the end. I started with the 1st bolt in the torque sequence, the center upper and removed it, replaced it and torqued it to the specified 22ft/lbs. Then did the same for the second thru the 10th. Then, when ask were in and torqued, I went thru and followed up with the degree specs in order. Hope that works, it seemed logical.

When installing the rockers on non - ported heads, is it necessary to use rtv on the rocker bolts? I've been searching, but can't find anything definitive. Thanks again.

Nope... I like to use alil anti seize though. Definitely not needed on non ported heads.
