Out of curiosity, how much oil are you talking about?cavscout371 said:Another way if they are already on and just getting noisy and you dont mind spilling a little oil take the valve covers off and lash them with it running.

SlowGT said:Just enough to make a mess. Get a set of 94/95 tin valve covers from a junkyard and cut the tops out only far enough to access the rockers. The amount of oil you spill will be almost none.
95stangGT --> The Haynes manual probably discusses pedestal mount rockers. Which type are you using?
95stangGT said:I'm referring to just the stock ones.
95stangGT said:Is it nessesary to go through the steps in the Haynes manual for tightening the rocker arms? A mechanic friend of mine said you can just tighten them as they sit but that didn't seem right. Thanks

Kinda Sorta
Ford made ped rockers so the workers could just bolt them on the motor as it came down the line at the factory with no checking or adjustment needed whatsoever.
The whole system of "no adjustment necessary" depends on all parts being stock, or original Ford parts. This worked ok cause Ford knew the specs on all of their own parts so that ment the valve train specs always fell within an acceptable range.
If you've milled the heads or used different head gaskets or anything like that, then you should check things for correct valve train geometry.
