Stock Rockers

What's the proper procedure for tightening the stock rocker arms? I'll have to make do with them for two weeks after the cam install. Anyone? (Comp R lifters)

I just did this recently, the Chilton's manual said 1/4 turn past zero lash.

Just did it yesterday...Haynes guide book says do 3/4 turn once all the vertical movement is taken up in the pushrods. Make sure it is as TDC for each valve that you do, otherwise it will be screwed up. Good luck.

Spinner you can do it while the car is running also.1/4 turn after they stop clacking.That's how I did mine.Just bought some 1.6 pro mags and going to do them the same way.
