I know this is a "go look it up in the chiltons" question and i appologize. i looked in the chiltons at pep boys a week ago and forgot, and when i went to buy it yesterday no one had the book. :mad: I'm tryin to get my motor ready for final installation and one of the last things i need to do is tighten down the rocker arms. the book said you just torque em down to the correct # but i need to know what the correct # is. anyone with a newer 4.3 or a chiltons handy wanna let me know. Thanks.

Sorry, I was gone all night.

The rocker arm studs should be tightened to 35 pound feet, and the rocker arm nuts should be 18 pound feet.

Take care,

Mark

While were at it, the valve cover bolts should be 106 in pounds which would be 8-9 pound feet.

thanks a lot i appreciate it.
