1970 firebird Esprit Rocker ?. 350 Engine

Hey everyone, My question is how tight do i tighten an exaust rocker and an intake rocker. Is there any special way to tighten them like when im putting new ones on? Thanks alot.

Which 350 do you have? Chevy? Pontiac? Olds? Buick? They are NOT all the same for "rocker adjustment", some of them are not adjustable. A 1970 SHOULD have a Pontiac 350 in it (unless someone swapped it out) and they are NOT a small block and the valve lash is NOT adjustable like some engines. The rockers are held down with a bolt that gets torqued. The rocker "stud" is cast into the heads and the rocker "ball" is then machined into the top of the stud.

Ouch. I apologize to anyone that feels they have been misled.

No need to apoligize. The procedure you gave is correct and might be what he needs if someone put a SBC in that car.
There's no need to apologize for trying to help someone.

It has a pontiac small block 350 in it. 8 cyl. 5.7 liter. what i need to know is when i put on a new rocker, how tight should i put the bolt on? Is there any way to tell if i've tightened it too much or too little?

Ok, you need a torque wrench to make sure you get it right. You should be able to rent one from a parts store. The torque is 20 ft/lbs. Check this page for most of your torque specs. http://boxwrench.net/specs/pont_265-455.htm

BTW, Pontiac's engines aren't smallblocks,nor are they bigblocks. All of their engines had the same external dimensions...which were close to a bigblock chevy.
