I have the Trick Flow Street Heat H/C/I Kit, and I finished installing the heads and started on the 1.6 roller rockers. Anyway, I've never adjusted roller rocker before, and I just want to see if I did it correctly. We started at TDC on compression stroke, and then tightened the roller rocker bolt down until it stopped wiggling, and then 3/4 turn after that. We turned the crank 1/4 and worked on the next set of roller rockers for the firing order until we finished. We then kept turning the crank and making sure none were loose, and if they were we loosened them completely, tightened the rocker bolt until they stopped moving, and did 3/4 turn. We kept this up until none of the rockers moved around too much. Is this correct? The instructions were confusing and my brother and I don't know how to do this sort of thing. Oh and after they all stopped wiggling around we tightened the hex key in the center of the bolt to hold it in place. Thanks for any help!

i always tighten down the rocker until the pushrod stops wiggling or stops turning freely then another 3/4 turn. make sure if you use new hyd. lifters you prime them first or re-adjust the rockers again after you run it for a few minutes.
