need help? installing slp rockers!!!!
Im installing a set of slp 1.8 roller rockers, they look exactly like the yella terra rockers. just put the new heads back on the car put the rockers on tightened the rockers till there was no play in the pushrod then torqued them down to 22ft lb. dont know if i did this right dont want to put the valve covers back on till i know it is right. couldnt do the method of opening and closing the valves bc like i said just put new heads on the car along with new lifters, pushrods, oil pump etc........ besides the internals rods, pistons, crank, everything is changed...
the rockers are all on the car now and torqued down to 22 ft lb and some of the rockers i can lift up over the valve but there is no play in the pushrod???

The one part about your description that worries me is the statement about being able to lift the end of the rocker with your finger! Did you follow the steps from www.ls1howto.com correctly?The SLP rockers are not copies of Yella Terras. They are copies of Harlan Sharps except they're anodized silver instead of orange. Plus, SLP charges $500 for the SAME Harlan Sharps that cost $320!

the rockers are suppose to have some play in them. When u tighten down the rockers u are puting preload on the lifters, Once u start it up the lifters pump up with oil and take that slack out. When i did my lifter i rotated the engine till both valves were closed u can see both pushrods are down for that clylinder. i torqued them to 22 ft lbs, then i rotated engine for each cylinder. After i did all of them i rotated the engine a few times and went back over them just to make sure they were torqued.
