These numbers are from one of the builders at Wixom. Sorry it's jumbled up a little, I had to copy it off a spread sheet and it won't keep the formating. Hope this helps.

Maybe it's obvious, but I wrote a couple of these numbers down (rocker arm bolt and valve cover bolt), not realizing they are N.m and NOT ft-lbs. Just before I installed the rocker arms, I posted requesting some advice and I happened to mention 30 ft-lbs. And a responder said he used 22 ft-lbs. Then one of the engine builders chimed in saying it was 30 N.m. Any way, just making sure that you realize it is N.m.

This may be a little easier to read, and it has both N-m and ft/in lbs:

Yes on the N-m and thanks again for all the info!
