Default LT4 rocker torque?

What torque are LT4 self-aligning rockers supposed to be at? I want to check them over again. I think they are getting a little louder. That or my lifters are.

Until the push-rod stops spinning easily, then half a turn. :cheers:

Glock, do you have those LT-4 rocker arm bolts? The non adjustable type. My friend had those on his 93. After we put his stroker together we had to switch over to a studed rocker system to get the valve adjustment correct.

Helm's manual says LT4 rockers torque to 18ft-lbs.
But when I removed the lifters they seemed much tighter than 18, assuming this was still factory set.

Yes, these non-adjustable self aligning. For now they are ok, but I'll be going with some Pro Magnum's over summer probably. I should be able to sell these in the c4 sale section for about the same I bought them for.

Yeah, my builder said he did 25ft/lb's i think. I'm going to check them today to see what they are at and make sure they are still close to speck. I don't want one getting lose on me.
