So, first I loosened all the rockers off the push rods as loose as possible by backing off the valve adjuster nuts....then, I tightened all head & rocker bracket nuts....then, I torqued the head nuts to 40 ft lbs per the manual & tightened the remaining 4 rocket bracket nuts 'tight' as I couldn't find a torque for them.
Not all of the Head & rocker bracket nuts screwed completely down onto the studs - primarily towards the front of the engine - & actually allow several of the nut threads to show with the stud down inside the nut instead of sticking out of it or being level with the top of the nut.
& on TDC, my #3 valve is tight even though the adjuster has been backed off all the way.
