I trashed mine, but I think you can get them from Crower. And it was pretty simple, TDC, snug plus 1/4 turn, then next, next, next. You can also call Crower tech support for help> I called about 5 times.

That was the hard part. When both lifters whent level was the answer and since they self adjust all my fears about being exact where without merit. Trust the instructions and do not go back and retighten after a cylinder is done, they will drop from loss of oil pressure. I did and had a ruff idle, had to go back and do it all over again and just followed the instuctions and it runs great!

Yes ZZX, that is exactly what I am saying. When I did mine, by the time I finished the last one on a side, I noticed the first one was now loose. So I re-tightened, then a 1/4 more. Bad move. Do them and leave them alone. TRUST THE INSTRUCTIONS. Also don't be afriad to start with valve cover off, so you can listen for ticking. Dodge is cool, no oil squirts out.
