Valve Train
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 GMC Sonoma and 2002 Chevrolet S10 Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The LN2 valve train utilizes cast steel rocker arms with a roller bearing fulcrum. Motion is transmitted from the camshaft through the hydraulic roller valve lifters and the tubular pushrods to the valve rocker arms. The valve rocker arm pivots on a roller bearing in order to open the valve. The valve train is of the net-lash type without provision for manual adjustment. All valve train lash is taken up by hydraulic roller valve lifters.
The valve springs are of a conical type which reduce valve train harmonics and noise.
The valve seals are integral with the valve spring seats.
