Well there is different ways to tighten them, different people have different techniques. I followed the instructions that crane provided to tighten mine and they work like a charm. YOu have to get the right preloads in order for everything to work properly. Therefore you start working on the #1 piston when its at TDC on the compression stroke you set your torque wrench to I think 20ft Lb of torque. Snug the bolt Up ( Finger TIght). Start tightening the bolt and your the wrench shoudl not go over 2 complet turns( Ithink) then the proper preload should be set. If its takes more or less you need shims or different rods. go to www.Cranecams.com to get the detialed article. Hope everything works out

update I found out why my rockers were so loud.

when I installed my rockers I didn't make sure the flat part was on top where you put the bolt in, and I broke 6-7 of those things that hold up the rocker.
so the rockers were lower than they should,
anyways, I put the stock 1.6 rockers back on, and it runs good, for about 5 minutes then my power steering seized.
damn, its just one thing after another.
oh well, thanks for all the help.
