David;
Forgot to bring the printout to work but checked last night and the
rocker adjustment nuts should be adjusted to 22lbs. There were several
other nuts listed also. Like you said how you achieve this, I dunno?
Anyone?

Thanks!  There are some settings in Haynes, and in one of the other
books I
have around here.  I suspect that there is no setting for the valve
adjustment nuts -- especially since there's no way to use a torque
wrench
and screw driver at the same time.

Is Spring finally arriving in Newfoundland?  You guys must have snow on
the
ground in May!!
