ROCKER ARMS AND PUSHRODS MAINTENANCE (Contd)

NOTE

Front and rear rocker arm assemblies are identical and are

repaired and replaced the same. This procedure covers the

front rocker arm assembly.

Prior to removal, tag all components for installation.

REMOVAL

Loosen six nuts (9) while holding adjustment screws (8).

Turn adjustment screw (8) counterclockwise until rocker arm (6) is loose against pushrod (5) end.

Repeat for remaining five screws (8).

Remove six screws (1), lockwashers (7), and three supports (2) with six rocker arms (6) from

cylinder head (4) and six pushrods (5). Discard lockwashers (7).

CAUTION

Engine oil may cause suction between pushrods and tappets.

Pushrods must be removed from tappets using a sharp upward

snap motion. Failure to do this may result in tappets becoming

dislodged from bores in engine block.

Remove six pushrods (5) from tappets (3) and cylinder head (4).
