Question Rocker Arm tightening help needed!

1993 LT1 Trans Am....

Can someone run me through tightening the rocker arms down? I need to know the spec and the procedure. It seems to me there is more then just tightening them down to spec. Any special order or procedure?

Thanks in advance,
Tom

I found that instead of spinning the pushrod, I had better luck feeling for up/down movement. I tried the spinning and went 1/2 turn and it was WAY to much. I tightened them to where there is no up/down movement, and then went 1/2 turn. Runs like a dream.
