Torque rocker box and cover down

Okay guy sent my jugs and heads off to fuel moto and should be back soon. What tools do I need to torque the heads and rockers back on?
Any help would be great.

You need a dogbone torque adaptor.

I've got a little ratcheting box end wrench that you can fit allen and torx bits into. The opposite end is cut for a 1/4" drive. Use my 1/4" inch/lbs torque wrench at a 90* angle.

Truth be told, though, I generally don't worry about torquing down the rocker box cover. You could do one or two that are accessable to get a feel for what the others should feel like.
