Yes. After a few hot cold cycles they wont be at 35 ft. lbs any more. I actually need to re-torque mine I know for a fact they arnt tight enough.

hmmm. One bolt wont tighten.. I should be ok, right? Its the second bolt in the tightening sequence.. it just keeps turning.. all the others are torqued down to 36 FT LBs cause my torque wrench is kinda old.. i gave it an extra pound no biggie.. But will i be ok with the one bolt sorta tight? Rockers seem perfect..
