But everyone who is reading this please know... Even if you think it is tight enough, if you didn't use a torque wrench, you don't actually know and you could be getting some injectors with 10k miles rebuilt... again.
It suxs. Sadly we all mess up. I know I'm not perfect.
120 inch lbs. NOT foot.
My first thread I screwed up and owned it. It says more about character than you know imo

Only time will tell, Glenn haha!

So should I be worried about how much those rockers are moving? They don't have any up/down play, only side to side.

Yeah Jarrett, it's not the mistakes we make, but how we handle them. Admitting them shows a ton of character. Good on ya man and you'll get this figured out. I've had excellent support and help on my build. that's the only way I have avoided issues I am sure. I can turn a wrench, but lack of knowledge leads to bad stuff happening without proper guidance.
