Hi guys I just put the 60 lb springs on my exhaust valves for my Pac-Brake install, Anybody know how much the rocker arms bolts torque down at? My book shows everything but the head bolts ???

Not a spec, but a chart.<br>Might help.<br><br><br>SAE Bolt/Torque values.<br>http://www.dodgeram.org/tech/specs/bolts/SAE_bolts.html

The rocker bolts are head bolts ... torque = 89 ftlbs + 90* if we are assuming you are refering the bolts 21,13,5,4,12,20 in the attached pic ....<br><br>PM me if you need more ... I'll give you my phone #

I've got a '96 CD manual. The torque specs for the rocker lever assembly are listed as 18 ft-lb for the 8mm bolts. For the 12mm it says 66 for step 1, 89 for step 2, and an additional 1/4 turn for step 3. It shows the tightening sequence as #4 cyl, #3, #5, #2, #6, #1. If you want, PM me and I'll send you the pdf file.

Oops, I guess RamminOn types faster. ;D

Thanks guys! I don't know why every other bolt in my Haynes manual is listed but they omitted the head bolts for some odd reason. <br><br> It just states to torque them as shown in the chapter specs, then you go to the chapter specs and it states to do it as listed in the chapter <br><br> Editor messed up on that one

you took the head off to put the HD valev springs in. I thought you did not have to do that?<br>DM01

I did not remove the head, just the rocker arms and they are also mounted by some of the head bolts<br>
