Can you tell me how to Replace the rocker Arms on the 2.2 and if #1 Piston has to be at TDC on each cylinder or just for the number one cylinder and then change them all. I believe Torque is 22. Im replacing all with new Push Rods and Rocker arms as well as the Pivot Ball.

You can put them into position from any point but when it comes to torquing them down, you will get a more accurate torque if both valves are closed on the cylinder that your are tightening.
