Best method to install new Rocker Arms

There is no trick to pedestal mount rockers they just get torqued down. You do not have to adjust them.

That is a bit misleading. You have to check the geometry with pedestals just like any other rocker. The difference is that once everything is OK and you have the proper swept area and lifter preload via the coorect shims/pushrod length they can be torqued down. Pedestals are a royal PITA to get setup properly the first time, but they are a cake walk if it ever needs to be done again if you don't change anything else on the engine.
