torque specs on roller rocker

these engines use stamped steel rocker arms retained by a fulcrum seat which bolts directly to the cylinder head and guides the rocker arm torque fulcrum bolts in 2 steps as follows: For each valve rotate crankshaft until tappet rests on heel( base circle) of camshaft lobe and torque fulcrum bolt to 5-11 ft. lbs. After initial torquing all fulcrum bolts, final torque to 19-25 ft. lbs. final torque may be done with camshaft in any position.
 
I've been hearing that final torque should still be on the base of the lobe also. I want to get this right the first time! :D
