[Healeys] Rocker arm assembly

Torque rocker shaft bracket nuts to 300 - 324 lb.-in. (25 - 27 lb.-ft.).  No
order is specified in the workshop manual, but I prefer to alternate from
side to side and torque them first to half-spec before torquing to the final
value.

Make sure that the balls on the rocker tips sit down into the cups of all
pushrods properly before torquing down the rocker shaft bracket nuts.

I removed the rocker arm assembly to torque the head.  Any advice in
replacing the assembly.  Is there an order to bolting it back on.  Anything
to be wary of?

Thanks,
