Rocker Arm and Shaft Disassembly/Reassembly

NOTE:

Identify parts as they are removed to ensure reinstallation in their original location.
Inspect the rocker shafts and rocker arms (see ROCKER ARM AND SHAFT INSPECTION ).
If reused the rocker arms must be installed in their original location.
When removing or installing the rocker arm assembly, do not remove the camshaft holder bolts. The bolts will keep the holders and rocker arms on the shaft.
Prior to reassembling, clean all the parts insolvent, dry them, and apply new engine oil to any contact points.
Bundle the rocker arms with rubber bands to keep them together as a set.
When replacing the intake rocker arm assembly, remove the fastening hardware from the new intake rocker arm assembly.
