I changed out my valve seals. Before I retorque the rockers (positive stop, non adjustable), I started thinking about the procedure to do it properly. I keep thinking about the pre load on the lifters and making sure that I tighten them down in proper sequence. It has been 20+ years since I last did this. I do have the factory manuals to go by as well, but wanted an additional opinion from those that have done this with the heads still on the car. I believe the torque setting is 20 ft/lbs. Can someone that has experience confirm the procedure for me, please and thanks.
