7.3 rocker adjustment??

Is checking the rockers a given when changing valve cover gaskets?
If so can some one give me the S.O.P. on diesel valve lash?
appreciated,
This forum is bytching!!

They're hydraulic, if the bolts are tight you're good to go.

And dont try to overtighten them, the hole will split. I believe they are 20 lb/ft. Which isnt much, along with some loctite (is that right , malcolm?)

Yeah, don't use a 1/2" drive ratchet on them (unless it's a torque wrench)! 20 ft. lbs. is what the book says. I've never had to locktite them, it would be hard to get it clean enough anyway.
