Kohler Command 25 rocker arms off valve springs

[MossRoad]

Kinda scary, though, to increase the torque by 65%. Given my previous problems with valve cover bolts snapping upon removal, I'm concerned that the rocker arm bolts will snap or the thread will strip out of the head, and them I'm bolted(screwed).

I remember the newer engines had a redesign that fixed that problem, I think the fix can be applied to the older engines also!.. there's some added parts..

Only with the added turbo kit!

Is your engine in the serial break? One would have to look when and if they changed parts. They all look the same to me, but we don't do head gaskets on these like we used to. Though strangely I did 2 in the past month. If you are concerned about the torque, then clean, prep and loctite @ 100 or where you feel comfortable. Remove the plugs and spin the engine by hand a few revolutions, then top dead center once the intake valve closes.
