I torqued the rocker boxes now
This is how they are
Lubed them
Here's the center rocker numbers.
I'm now wondering about the dowels that came with the rockers. The main plate doesn't sit flat on the rocker box with the dowel on the stud. The dowel doesn't fit in the hole of the rocker
Here's a pic of the dowel
N here's what happens when I tighten it on the dowel
I've got extra dowels tho. But I'm bout to just leave em off in the centers. The dowels on the sides were never removed from the rocker boxes and fit fine.
