Default assembely question.

What is the proper way to torque the polylocks on roller rockers on a 302? Do you use a torque spec. or a feeler gauge or both?

you mean setting the preload ?? or after preload is set and tighten the allen set screw?? I just hold polylock with a wrench and tighten allen set screw as tight as I can
