I Know you said you found this just don't want other to be mislead because they didn't read the entire thread...

29 ft lbs on the 5/16" rocker bolts is sure to stretch the threads in your aluminum heads..... Be aware.....

Fitted them this evening. I didn't even had to remove the rocker boxes, they dropped right in. I think the engine being still hand warm might have helped a bit. All in all 30 minutes work.

Took it for a spin when I was finished. Oh man, best mod I ever did for the least amount of money My engine has been quite as a church mouse when cold, but started a cacophony when warmed up. Now, it stays like a church mouse.
