The Crane instructions say much the same thing, but also mention the use of spacers if 1/4 to 1 turn of tightening does not produce the specified torque (lifter compression). My concern is that the nut is at the specified torque, but the rocker is loose enough to allow the push rod to spin freely. I assume that means I need to play with the spacer to get the preloads correct. Does that sound right?
