- Should I roto till it all (does it work good with clay and little rocks)?
- Then rake it smooth.
- Then add an inch or two on fresh loam.
- Then sod it immediately after within a day or 2 (to avoid loosing all the nice soil again).
Any advice would be great. Yard is massive or else I'd just manually rake it by hand.

If you're adding some loam and then sodding, not sure you'll get much value from rototilling. I'd pick out the obvious large rocks before you loam when you even out the clay soil.
