Push Rod Cleaning and Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Ford Pickup, 2010 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2010 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2010 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Thoroughly clean each push rod using a suitable solvent. Dry using filtered, compressed air.
  2. 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.
  3. 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 .
