96 Cherokee inline 6, after I put the head back on (blown head gasket) and put the push rods back in. What procedure do I follow to replace the rocker arms? The engine is sitting with #1 TDC
Thanks!

You should be able to simply just put the rockers back on, and torque them as specified. IIRC it's an alternating process, starting in the center and moving outward; so #3 and #4, then #2, then #5, #1, and then #6.

Torque to 1/2 the specified amount the first time, then all the way the 2nd time. Make sure the tops of the rods line up into the correct spot on the rockers.
