GM mechanic HELP - 3.4L Pontiac Montana

[gzzgfw]

Gonna replace intake gasket and want to verify rocker arm installation. These should be on a pedastal and should only need torque down to what?
It's 2002, 3.4L Any help is appreciated.

there is also a tool that lisle makes so you don't have to unbolt them, it just lifts the rockers so you can take the push rod out, it is very nice.

taken straight from SI

Install the valve rocker arm bolts.
Tighten
Use the J 36660-A to tighten the bolts to 19 N·m (14 lb ft) plus 30 degrees.

but like sweetk30 said just tighten them til they sit, then a little more.
