Er, um. Yes. The cam carrier bolts...just went back and looked again at the diagram with caption, and I evidently misread what I was tightening...so I actually just retorqued the cam carrier bolts. I must have gotten in a hurry and read right past it, not to mention not even taking notice of why the pattern of 'studs' was so haphazard and numerous... eek. Good news is that they were loose and I retorqued them but about 1.5lbs shy of spec. Also good news is that this is a first step before tightening the head studs. Guess I will be trying again next time I have the covers off....

Question remains, if the cam carriers are not retorqued with the inner nuts but only those accessable with the rockers in place, am I looking at issues...i suppose less serious given these are not head studs
