for now to verify there is no damage or other issues, i would just torque the stock nuts down to 20 & see how it runs/sounds. doesnt need to be at TDC because all the nuts end up in the same location once torqued.

Just for clarification, I have stock 093 heads and I'm going to put the rockers back on this weekend. I'm using the stock rockers, springs, and nuts. I can just torque down the crimp style nuts to 20 ft/lbs without worrying about TDC, is that correct? Thanks,

yes, correct. if the heads & block arent milled to change the factory dimensions the 20lb/ft rocker tightening just puts the lifter where it should be for preload.
