Torque spec?

[patman]

I've got a gen 5 454 engine. I've read that the rockers are torqued as opposed to having the lash set. I've looked and can't find what the spec is for them. Anyone know?

3.Install or connect the following:

■Pushrods and their guides, Be sure that they seat properly in each lifter.

4.Position a set of rocker arms (for 1 cylinder) in the proper location.


NOTE
Install the rocker arms for each cylinder only when the lifters are off the cam lobe and both valves are closed.

5.Coat the replacement rocker arm with Molykote® or its equivalent, and the rocker arm and pivot with SAE 90 gear oil, and install the pivots.

■Rocker arm bolts. Torque the bolts to 45 ft. lbs. (61 Nm).
