Rocker arms shaft installation on a SB

Lars said
I'm scared now, I was torquing them down and one bolt on each side was acting like it was stretching (to snap off). Doesn't make any sense because they were all right before. :( I left them though, gotta remove them after I run in the cam because I have to reinstall the inner dampners on the valve springs.

Do you mean the dampner spring or do you have double springs with dampner and you are leaving the inner spring out?
There is no need to leave the dampner out for cam breakin.
