when 1 rocker is down do the one next to it. then rotate the engine till theone is down and do the one next to it that is flat. repeat till all are done. goover them twice so you make sure you dont miss one.just tighten the one thats flatdown to the exact spot to where you cant move the rocker side to side anymore. grab the tip of the rocker and move it left to right. if it ticks then go a tiny bit more then a little more to the exact spot to where they stop ticking.then lock itin place. then rotate then do the next. thats how i did mine.

one rocker down. One flat. do the flat one till it stops ticking then rotate the engine till the one you just did is down then do the flat one next to it. move to the next two. do the same thing. repeat till all are done. then double check them all so none are loose. If one is loose di the procedure again.
