We install them all accessible from the flywheel end of the motor. This way you can use a torque wrench easily to install them. Use John's higher spec, old shafts in old housings will walk out of the bore at factory torque, end of story. Never had one walk out with 18 or 19 Lb/ft of torque on them. I am not sure how many engines Wayne has built himself.
I don't care about the next builder in this case. Installed in this manner they are not going to walk out. I am not ever going to replace rockers with the engine in the car. If it needs that level or service, at minimum, we are pulling the engine...
Cheers
