It has come to the point where I need to install my rocker arms in my 360 rebuild. I know how you need to set the engine to a certain point using the V8 symbol but I am just curious if you leave it in that same position for all of the rocker arms? Here are the instructions I am referring to. I know how to set it at that point but do I leave it there? Thanks. I know that says 5.2 but I think it's the same for the 5.9.
Yeah, looks like you line up the marks, and put 'em in. Think I would verify that number 1 was in firing position first, and then turn to the V-8 mark.

sounds like a good idea. The cam finally came in today and the heads are off getting vacuum tested. Should be ready to swap engines here soon. It better run well... too much money into it for it not to.

I installed all the rockers and valve train. Is it normal to hage a little wiggle to the rockers since the lifters are pumped up at all?
Yeah. Run the engine gently for a few minutes to get oil pressure up, and lifters pumped up. Shouldn't be any clacking from the valve train after a minute or two.
