Default Need Help

I am installing some new push rods in my 99 LS1 Z28 this week but need to know If there is a certain way to torque the rocker arms back down or do i just put them on and torque them down? Also I need the torque specs. Thank you in advance.

Just slap them in and torque to 22 ft-lbs.

The manual says to torque down the rocker when that cylinder is at TDC but I have found that it is not required.

If you search you will find the procedure, you get one cylinder to tdc and tighten half the rockers then turn it over once and tighten the other half.
