Yeah, so am I. After doing the Rockers the 2nd time thru, turned out one of the rockers on Cylinder #8 was too tight and giving me a misfire. So took 'em off, and re-did all of the rockers. No problems since. Course, the first time I started it up when originally doing the rockers, didn't really get much because the rockers had to lube up, but one of the rockers was starting to make a mess when I cut the engine off (was waiting for all 16 to lube up).
