I was wondering about your rockers, they look like non adjustables. Correct? If they are , could you give me some advise on how to determine the proper procedure on how to setup the rockers/ pushrods. I need shorter length from the 7.5's that i bought due to the milling and gasket. How did you adjust yours, or did you just install and torque the rockers dow to 22ft lbsand call it a day?
I did the non adjustable rockers, un-milled heads so the 7.5's worked just fine. If I remember correctly Yella Terra called for 25ftlbs.
