I have the stock 95 Cobras rockers, wonder if there adjustable or not?( im thinking there not). And also whats the torque rating gon those?
Thanks

You adjust them by shimming, if the preload it too much and shorter push rods if the preload is not enough..basically not very adjustable. Torque them to about 20ft/lbs

Ok thanks you guys, i pulled my upper intake off and the vavle covers(replacing vac. hoses) and i thought the rockers were getting a little noisy, but the appear to be fine- they are shimmed already, i think the preload is OK, but how do you check? and im gonna check the torque on them as well
Thanks

Yeah my bad i notced that after ther post, so when you torque them down it maked the perload right? would the preload beng off make then noisy i wonder? i know rockers make nosie but seems like #4 cyclinder and a few on the other side were a bit out of the ordinary..........could just be me though

Yeah, it will make a difference if it isn't right. I would recheck it if I were you...you have it aprt anyway. Break them all loose, and start over....take the lash out(when the valve is closed) then torque it down. No less than 1/4 turn after lash and no more than 1 full turn after lash to your full torque of 20ft/lbs

You really think i should do that? Im just a idiot with that stuff and dont have the know how to do it- i wouldnt worry about doing it if i had interent acess at my house- then i could aak all you guys why i run into trouble- or at least print the paper( but my g/fs printer dont work[:@])
I mean i guess i could do it just start with #1 cyclinder, and work up to 8

If you get lost, all you would have to do it tighten them back down...worth a try, just follow those direction I gave you in that link. If you don't feel comfortable doing it, don't. It isn't hard.
