OK, what kind of poly lock would work on my crane 1.7 ratio pedestal rockers? The bolt is a hex head bolt, so there are no corners. I could buy new bolts, but do I need to get a particluar grade? TIA, guys,

OK, I pulled the driver side valve cover, and cranked the engine over by hand, and all the rockers are tight. Is there anything else I can check while Im in there?
