Clean and Inspect

1

Inspect the rocker arm roller (1) for the following:
•

flat spots,

•

excessive scoring and pitting, and

•

ensure the roller spins freely

2

Inspect the rocker arm valve tip area (2).

3

Reinstall

1

Apply a liberal amount of commercially available
camshaft / lifter prelube or equivalent to the pivot
pocket (1), roller (2) and valve slot (3) areas of the
camshaft followers.

Figure 6A1 – 270

2

Place the rocker arm in position on the valve tip and
stationary hydraulic lash adjuster (SHLA). The
rounded head end of the arm seats on the SHLA
while the flat end seats on the valve tip.

CAUTION

• The rocker arm (1) must be positioned

squarely on the valve tip so the full width
of the roller will completely contact the
camshaft lobe.

• If the rocker arms are being reused, they

must be reinstalled in their original
location.
