Buy the hayes manual it is woth it, it would take some one two hours to write out the step by step instructions, The manual gives you all specs, step buy step instructions w/pics. If you don't do this right you will seriously screw up your engine.

I just read some of your other post in this forum and my new suggestion to you would be to take your car to the pros. let them do this.

Try adjusting the valve lash and then drive it agian and see how it does.

Since the rocker assy. was removed it is absolutely required to adjust the valves.

Also the ECU should be reset and allowed to re-learn.
Disconnect battery for 15 seconds
Start car and let idle until cooling fan comes on, during that time DO NOT touch the gas pedal.
