22 ft lbs and be sure the pushrod is in it's lowest position before you trq the rockerarm. That will ensure the lifter is on the basecircle/heel of the lobe. You can rotate the motor by hand for this.

You can use a socket to turn the bolt on the crank pulley.

24mm socket on the crankbolt and a long ratchet with a pipe for leverage. 4th rocker arm back should be an exhuast of cylinder#3.

For future, the way to tell what rocker it is (intake/exhaust) is the exhaust rocker will line up with the stock exhaust/aftermarket header tube.

Just noted you said passenger side so that would be #4 and would be an INTAKE sorry for the mixup. Intakes are on the left of each rocker arm pair.
