correct my research-torque rockers one of my rockers took a dump on me today. i run dual springs, mild cam. i believe i was told to torque these to 32lbs back when i installed the springs. Was I told the wrong torque specs? Everything i research on here says 22lbs. Is 22lbs for stock only?

22 lb-ft gives the correct clamping load with the 8 mm bolt and doesn't rip the threads out of the head. Increasing the clamping load about 45% with 32 lb-ft doesn't do good things.

Geez..Thats not cool.. I can't believe I was told 32.. I've been driving it with 32-34lbs for almost 3000 miles now! Looks like another fix is on the way. Thanks for the help.
