Torque?
to bolt rocker assembly to the head is only 20 - 25nm
you wouldn't want to go any higher than that

Make sure to retighten the lot until their well and truly tight. Once you tighten the last ones the first will be lose again...

you don't wanna do em too tight coz you'll strip the thread and/or crack the pedastools.
but as rmyers said, just do em all up with the ratchet first as they'll keep going loose until they're all down nicely.
then torque them up appropriately.

ALL e-series rockers are 2:1 ratio (even tickford).

i read the manual, it says touque to 50
they all seem to be sittin down fine, no huge or small gaps, everythings even
i guess if its all done there shouldnt be a problem to much
but like john said might strip the thread, but they wernt tight as in never-move-again tight but just till that indication that its tight enought on the bolts

they're actually later model rockers.
ED's and EF/EL's had them.
just the smaller hole.
the lifters are hard to get out, but they do come out.

There is - the late ed rockers are ef/el style - small hole in the top for better oil flow, and a slightly redesigned lifter.
Either ones will work, but EF/EL ones tend to be quieter.
