Now tighten each bar with a 14 in the order below. DO NOT tighten the bolts super hard. Tighten them like one full circle after full hand tighten. Re-check to make sure none of the rocker arms or spacers are stuck on the holders. If you start the engine while one of the rocker arms is stuck, the cam won't be able to turn and the engine won't work. You might even snap your timing belt, or screw up your timing if the belt skips on the camshaft. Now get out the torque wrench. Use the 14 with it and tighten up the screws in the order below. The Mazda shop manual says 18-26 N·m (1.8-2.7m-kg), (13-20 ft/lbs.) I used the average of the minimum and maximum.
