Rocker Arm Stud Torque

I figure I will have to loosen the studs to align the guide plates when I setup the rocker arms and pushrods on my heads. What do I torque the Rocker Studs on the aluminum SCJ heads? About 70 or 80 ft lbs?

50 ft/lbs with sealer on the intake studs. With NEW SCJ heads the studs are usually Loc-Tighted in place.

Thanks Randy. You are THE MAN!

Finally got my Lunati Voodoo rocker arms. Set it all up and ended up with 9.25" exhaust and 8.875" intake pushrods. Is that close to what I should be with SCJ heads?
