i've finished replacing all my valve seals (car was smoking bad under hard acceleration, and literally eating oil like never before), found all but 5 valve seals were sitting underneath the retainer), and since i was already there, i decided to get new PRC dual springs and new retainers.
now i need to put back the rocker arms, and i was wonder if there is anything special with this install.
i've found the LS1Howto just mention the following:
"Insert all 16 pushrods, place the rocker pedestal back on the head, apply LoctiteŽ to all the rocker bolts and reinstall all the rockers. Torque the rockers to 22lb/ft, rotate the crankshaft 180 degrees and double check the torque on all the rocker arm bolts",
but then i've also been told to follow this procedure, i don't understand the tightening procedure and i was wonder if somebody can help me with this
