Default what is the valve lash on a 96 5.9 magnum ram 1500

My sticker on the radiater support says no adjustments needed.... does that mean i just torque them down tight? the bolts keep backing out on me and the rockers are loosining with the compression stroke half turn trick.

i dont have the lash tool was wondering if you just tighten them down or not

There is no adjustment for our valve train. Just torque the rockers down to what ever the book says. Id tell ya what that is but the book is out in the shop and it's raining cats and dogs here right now... lol

The rocker arm bolts get tightened to 21 ft lbs (28 N m) according to the FSM.
