Re: Intake gasket and valve settings

I need to rush this because I have found antifreeze in the oil of the car and my wife depends on this car for her transportation. I will have Thursday and Friday to complete.

I am also going to replace the lifter set while I have the motor open because I think that one lifter was collapsed. There is a tapping noise that comes and goes from the back valve cover.

My question is this;

Since I need to loosen the rockers to remove the push rods is there a certain procedure for reinstalling them. I have heard that they are zero lash and no adjustment is nessecary.

Does anyone know the tourque settings (procedeures) for the rockers, intake bolts (upper and lower)

Sorry about all the questions but I'm a newbee at this.
i just replaced the intake on my 97 with 244000 miles.. the lifters should be ok.. just remove the push rods and keep theme in order, so you wont get them mixed up. tighten the rockers snug.. thats it..
