Re: Intake gasket and valve settings

The torque specs for the intake bolts will be included with the gasket kit you buy. The new improved design gaskets require a different torque value than the OEM did. The pushrods are different lengths for the intake and exhaust valves (intake 5.75", exhaust 6.00"), so be sure you don't mix them up. There is a torque spec for the rockers as well, 89 in/lbs plus an additional 30 degrees. Make sure you lubricate the ends of the pushrods before you install them.
