40-45 ft. lbs. after they are tightened two turns at a time front to back an the drivers side and rear to front on the passenger side. I have never had a problem just tightening a turn at each bolt back and forth on each side.

Rocker shaft torque down
Pttt; I have seen motor production shops run down the rocker shaft bolts with a impact gun "one shot till tight" each bolt. The damn things still run, wow but not my motors. 45 degrees before TDC and after TDC to reduce the cam lift on the rockers to torque the shafts down and in small even steps are best.

I use a click wrench to get them close to tight and then a beam wrench for the final adjustment.

This sounds good, I think I will try this next time instead of doing it straight up.
