ya, man its nothing to pull the covers and rockers and check stuff out, When I did my cam install after all my rockers were torqued and re tourqued, ran the car for a little while, killed it, started it back up and had a mad tick, first I freaked out then pulled the covers and one rocker came loose, dont know why but it did, tourqued it back down and everything has been cool, for like 6k miles
