Is there a torque specification for the jamb screws (the little hex head screws) for the rocker arm lock-down nuts?

If so, what is the recommended torque?


Thanks,
Daggs

german specs: goodentight

there's no way to get a torque wrench on that anyways. i put an open head wrench on the adjusting nut and tightened down the allen screw. sometimes the adjusting nut would turn while i was tightening the allen screw.

goodluck

Yah just tighten it man. But you don't have to tighten it like i did. Something about my 6'3" frame and 270lbs always tightens things 2 much. Mechanic was checking my valve/rocker adjustment one day and was complaining about it being to tight.
