Question
I am trying to find out the torque  setting for the rocker arms on a stock Pontiac 350.   Any help would be great.  Tom...

Answer
Tom;
I take it they are hyd. lifters. all you have to do is, slowly loosen each rocker one at a time  till it starts to clack than slowly go back in till it stops clacking than go 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn more no more than that. this will set you fine.  ok go slow as it might try to stall.
