Default my head/cam swap got pushed back a few weeks

So Im gonna decide to finally order injectors and rockers...

what do ya'll think?

yella terra 1.7 rockers

and fast injectors, not the SVO 30#...

Im probably gonna call up TSP to order these...

again the car is a stock LS1 bottom end

a 5.3 stage 2.5 heads will be going on with a TV3 cam, caddy lifters and stock ls6 manifold as well as all boltons, LT, 25%udp, aluminum fw, moser 12 bolt.

Okay, I have a question on the YT rockers...

I think Im doing it right, but the instructions say. tighten bolt til you have zero endplay, then it should take under 1 1/2 turns to get to 25 ft lb, if it takes more you need to put a washer under the rocker arm.

Now, its seems pretty straight forward..

I just have 2 questions.

#1 should the piston stay at TDC on cyl #1, sd I progress to do the other rocker arms? or should they be @ TDC on each set of rockers I do?

and #2 what exactly is zero endplay? I mean I know what it is, but how can I determine the strength of zero endplay.. for me zero endplay can be different than another technician. maybe my strength isnt the same. so the rocker moving up and down still occurs with slight force, because the lifters are hydraulic.. I hope you understand the second question..

thanks.
