Yes, be extremely careful when torquing lock-nuts on valve-adjusters. Too little and they work loose. Too tight and you may break off lateral guides from rocker-arms where they wrap around valve-stem. Then they'll fall off the valves at high-RPMs. I usually hold middle of valve-rockers with wrench when tightening lock-nuts. Helps keep side loads off rocker-arm guides.
