Rocker Arm Install..?
I hold em steady with one hand and use a 1/4" air ratchet in the other. Then torque to spec. There is a sequence and procedure you are supposed to use. Find TDC. Tighten certain ones , spin the crank 360 and torgue the others. I wonder how many people on here actually follow it. Some local guys watching me do it the other day were sayin they have never heard of that and they have done cams before
Good luck.
Good luck.
The above is the procedure I followed with my recently rebuilt stockers by Harland Sharp. I held them with one hand while tightening with the other, but once you get to a certain point, they kinda just straighten themselves out.

If you do it that way, those rockers on the cam lobe (partially or fully open) have incorrect bolt preload, even worse with stiffer aftermarket springs. You also risk aluminum thread damage.
