    If you have the 5/16 thread top and 3/8 smooth bottom bottleneck studs, the nut just spins easily down and torques to twenty foot-pounds.

    chances are you have positive stop rockers and as said before you just torque to 17 to 23 foot pounds the only way to adjust they type of rockers is differnt length push rods .
