I have stud mounted rocker arms, and I am about to tighten them down, however, each arm is at a different thread count from the top... does it matter if I torque them down to the same but have them at different elevations or should I tighten them down to the same level and throw some thread lock on them? The chiltons manual 1979-88 mustang/caprice says to tighten them to 18-25 ft/lbs but show using the falcrum attaching bolt, falcrum and rocker arm (which are not parts of the new rockers... all there is - a "washer" similar to the falcrum in position, the stud mounted threads, the rocker arm, and a nut on top of it...
Anyway, hope this wonderfully precise description helps!

QUIT cornfusing stud and pedestal mount rocker arms, your killin me.


fiorget what the manual says, post what your trying to do please.
i read the post three times, still have no clue what ya need help on....
studs have no fulcrum, and stud mount rocker arms dont have a torque value that you speak of.

That's if you have a hydraulic cam and stud mounted rockers.
