However, I will let you know that you don't torque down your rockers.

I created a step by step procedure for setting lifter preload which you'll need once you get the springs swapped. It's posted as a STICKY on the LS1LT1.COM on the Engine Tech Board.
I never got around to typing up a step by step on swapping springs though. Maybe someone else has one already prepared and will post it here or post a link to it.
I could type one up, but to do the swap correctly, it's somewhat involved. Many seem to think all you do is pop off the old ones and pop on the new ones, but it's more involved than that. To do it RIGHT, the installed height and seat pressure needs to be checked and verified.
