I have pulled all of the rockers off my 351M to replace the pushrods. I torqued all of them back down, but did not check the position of the piston/valves. Is this going to cause a problem?

You should be okay. You could turn the engine over two turns by hand if you want to make sure.

Thanks, Mike. I've actually driven the truck since. Just confirming I haven't done some damage.
