Wait, Crane 1.7s? Pedestal-mounts, right?
If they are pedestal-mounts, just torque them down to spec.
I've never heard of
that new rockers need to be tightened like 1/4 or 1/2 turn after the engines been running for some miles.
Something's not right (maybe my misunderstanding).
That is true if EVERYTHING is still OEM
What if the block or heads have been cut
What if the hg used is thinner or thicker
There could be many things ... non stock ... one might not know about
on a car that is now 10 plus years old

I remember reading somewhere that new rockers need to be tightened like 1/4 or 1/2 turn after the engines been running for some miles.
Pardon me for being dense, but it sounds like we're talking about two different things:
The OP is asking about re-torquing pedestal-mounts after a few miles, if I read that correctly:
Whereas some of these posts are alluding to properly setting lifter preload during the initial assembly, which in my mind would be a different chore. Apologies if I'm misunderstanding, I have never added 1/4 to 1/2 turn to my pedestal 1.7ss after a few miles.
