I have the vehicle listed above GT model, 3.0l v6. I seated the valves and now I am trying to put it back together but cannot find any torque specs for the rocker arm assembly. If anyone can help that would be great. I do not know if they are different depending on the size of the engine.

Would it be the same for a DOHC? And how do I find torque specs for everything else?

On a mitsubishi 2003 2.4 liter, does the head need to have the timing set to put the rocker on?

Hello, I'm Danny.

Here is the information you requested. Yes, having the timing set will aid in properly adjusting the valves which are controlled by the rocker arm assembly. I've attached picture steps below for your Eclipse 2.4L. Let us know if you have any further questions on this issue. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
