Quick rocker arm rack question

[Haasman]

Should the bolts that go into the head that hold the rocker arms-

-have a locknut under the bolt?
-have locktite on the threads?

Finally what toque value should I use on these bolts?


Thanks in advance for replies,

There were no lock nuts under the rocker bolts on any of the three 235's that I disassembled in the process of finding one to build up for my project truck. However, I don't know for sure if they're supposed to be there.

I found this little chart on torque spec's in another forum, NOT from a shop manual. I've used the information for assembling my engine. Use at your discretion.

main cap bolts 100-110
bellhousing bolts 45-55
flywheel bolts 50-65
rod nuts 35-45
oil pan corner bolts 12-15
oil pan bolts 6-7
clutch pressure plate bolts 25-30
cylinder head bolts 90-95
manifold clamp bolts 15-20
manifold end clamp bolts 25-30
water pump bolts 25-30
spark plugs 20-25
fuel pump bolts 15-20
rocker shaft bolts 25-30

Hope this helps.
