The specification calls for initial tightening to 14 ft/lbs of torque, then GM uses a torque angle specification of 30 degrees from there. This requires a special tool that mounts between the socket and the ratchet. It is indexed and one end is held in place with a clamp. The pointer is then "zeroed" and the bolt is tightened slowly until the pointer moves 30 degrees as measured by the special tool. Be careful...over tightening these bolts can pull the threads out of the cylinder head.
20 foot pounds.
what should you torque the rocker arms to when you reinstall the push-rods to on a 3.4 pontiac
The 1997 Pontiac Transport 3400 rocker arm torque specifications are 18 pounds. The rocker arm should be torqued in six pound intervals.
What the flim flam?
The function of a rocker arm is to control a valve in an engine. The rocker arm is a lever that rocks.

There are no adjustments on a stock Pontiac valvetrain. You simply torque them to 20 ft lbs. Pontiac did not use locking rocker arm nuts. Any attempt to adjust them like you do a Chevy will result in the rocker nuts backing off.
some of them will.depends if they are roller rocker or studded. also check for match at the intake gaskets. not all will fit, but some definitely will.
Yes the 2.2 is zero tolorence there is no adjustment on the rocker arms and the head bolts are torque to yeild. so if you have a ticking other then the injectors you need to replace the lifters and they are roller,
your problem is the rocker/engine cover is blocked the only way to fix the problem is to change the rocker/engine cover.
It will cause the engine to run rough and eventually it will damage the valve and rocker.
