What is the proper way to set up the valvetrain with stud mount rockers? I've seen writeups on the h/c/i swap and I can't find them. I'm going to be tearing into the car in the next few weeks and the valvetrain is what concerns me the most. Also, when you clay the pistons for clearance, do I need to set the valvetrain up properly then turn it over and take it apart, or do I just put it together? Also, I assume the head gaskets need to be installed when I check for clearance, would torquing the heads and removing them to check the clearance leave the headgaskets alright? Just trying to get all the little tidbits of info I can so the install can go as smooth as possible. Thanks a lot.
