if your talking about the studs that screw into the head, its 50ft/lbs and make sure to use threadlocker, if its the nuts that hold the rocker onto the stud, there is no torque spec, you adjust each one individually.
google rocker arm adjustment.

There are no "rocker arm bolts". So are you asking about rocker studs or the nuts actually holding the rocker arms on the studs? If the latter, LOL. If the former, thread sealant and 50 ft/lbs.

Thread sealant is what you need, not thread locker.

Because of proximity to intake port passages? Obviously more of a risk of thin wall/ perforation on ported heads, but any other reason you'd need sealant on stock, untouched heads?
