Special tools for Rocker Base upgrade & Lifter Replacement
I'm pulling my rockers for Rockout installs and putting in new lifters. I have most tools but do I need anything special to do this job? I think, in order to torque the bottom pushrod bases, I need long allen sockets? I have normal length ones.
Then for the rocker bases, I've heard I need a torque extension, or converter, I think it's called to get me in under the frame to tighten those bolts and torque them? I have 3/8" crowsfoot wrenches, but not sure those are long enough (?).
Thanks for the help in advance.

For the lifter covers I use long ball tipped Allen sockets. I think mine are around 6" or so. Only other thing I could think of off hand is that I use the two Harley wrenches for the rocker cover bolts. They're tough to get to without

I would if I was doing cams likely, though I've heard people like them for that application as well. But seeing as I am leaving the original cams in for now, and pushrods, I'm gonna put these in and then if I do cams it later, I'll decide whether or not the new ones are will be premium or not. Have you done lifters before?
