I'm going to assemble my rockers back on my 5.0 and these are the stock rockers and roller lifters, what is the torque spec for the rockers?



Thanks!

Ed

I don't know the specs but i do know that you should ditch the stock rockers and go with a 1.7 ratio full roller rocker arm and you will get an automatic .030" lift and with some underdrive pulleys thats at least an easy 25 HP to the rear wheels.

Depending on your set up. You would have to have a blower to see those kinds of numbers from pullies and rockers. As far as the pullies, those work best on a stock motor, hence the name underdrive pullies. But roller rockers are a good investment.

Put it this way:



On the Jeep I6 4.0L HO engine, installing roller rockers gave 1 horse and 3 ft lbs.



However, it ran much smoother and is MUCH more durable.
