quick question

I am replacing the valve seals, and need the torque specs for the roller rockers. Is there any other torque info I need to do this job or anything else I want to replace when I'm in there?

From what I read it seems pretty straight forward. I am guessing 22-26 ft lbs, but I want to be absolutely sure. BTW this is a 1985 vette motor, it's in my 85 IROC and it has 1.6 roller rockers.

Thanks,
Matthew

you don't torque rocker nuts on a SBC, or BBC for that matter, look in your manual and it'll give instruction on setting the valves or do a search here. easy way is to measure the distance from the top of the stud to the top of the nut and then replicate it when you reassemble the rocker.
