Adjustable rocker arm

[PolaraFury]

I’m running 440 source roller rockers on a 500ci b block build

One of the adjustable rocker arms loosened up on me. I followed 440 source advice and set the lock nut at 20 ft #

Should I use some lock tight?

I wouldn't, Loktite is made to keep the threads in a specific spot/torque, the adjusters need to move freely to get the correct adjustment.
I'd get a few spare adjustment screws and nuts. I used this method for many years with several sets of rocker arms in my drag motors.

How were you tightening them to a specific value, torque wrench?
If so, how were you keeping the adjuster from spinning while torquing them?

I think I missed it when I initially torqued them down.

I got it all set up now

thanks
