I currently own and am working on a 1982 Mustang GT, with a 1986 5.0 in it. The 86' Roller Rocker is a great motor, but I don't have any of the owner's manuals, I only have the manuals for the 1982.

I'm just looking for the torque spec's for the rocker arms, I've hopped around other forums and saw people saying 25 ft-lbs. But I figured I'd ask this forum, because it seems like there's a larger community, as well as a lot more knowledge.

Any replies are appreciated, thanks :beer:

Pretty sure 25 ft/lbs is correct. I'm sure someone will chime in and skewer me if it's not.

Well, I ended up getting impatient and set the arms to the same specs as an 84' 5.0. 20 ft-lbs. It got rid of the tick I had in the motor, so I'm just going to assume that it's at the right specs..
