Default Rocker Arm Stud Torque Specs

A search revealed nothing.

I have all the other torque specs.
I need the specs for the studs into the head.

If nobody has the info; 30lbs?

I do know how to use the elbow clicker



Thanks,


Jim

It will depend on if they are factory or aftermarket such as ARP. I believe that my ARP studs were 50lbs. For your torque wrench, you set the dial so the line that corresponds to the torque you need is lined up with the 0 marker on the handle and lock the handle in place there and turn the bolt slowly until you hear a click in the wrench and then stop. Once you have done all the bolts, then go back with the same setting and try to tighten them again and make sure they all "click". Once it clicks stop turning.
