Rocker Arms & Push Rods: Installation
- Check that push rods are seated in valve lifters. Install rocker arm assembly in original location. Install steel retainers on rocker arm shaft bolts.
- Slowly tighten rocker arm shaft bolts to specification, starting at center and working outward. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS at end of this article. To install remaining components, reverse removal procedure.
CAUTION:
DO NOT operate engine until 20 minutes after rocker arm installation. This allows proper amount of time for valve lifters to bleed down.
