the link did not work?? i already read ls1howto but still wanted to make sure if i could do it that way since jessels require no load on the springs.. see i thought that i had to do one set of rockers at a time but since two pistons are at TDC at a time i know can install them a lot quicker.. just wanted an opinion of someone that has done it many times..
