- Thoroughly clean each push rod using a suitable solvent. Dry using filtered, compressed air.
- Inspect each push rod for wear and deposits which may restrict the flow of oil into the rocker arm assembly. Install a new push rod as needed.
- Check all push rods for flatness by rolling them on a flat, smooth straight surface. If a push rod is not straight, install new as necessary. For additional information, refer to SPECIFICATIONS .
