Disassembly and Reassembly

NOTE: 

• Identify parts as they are removed so they can be reinstalled in its original locations.
• Inspect the rocker arm shaft and rocker arms.
• 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 the rocker arms on the shaft.
• Bundle the intake rocker arms with rubber bands to keep them together as a set, and remove the bands after the intake rocker arms have been installed.
• Prior to reassembling, clean all the parts in solvent, dry them, and apply new engine oil to all contact points and the lost motion assembly.
• When replacing the intake rocker arm assembly, remove the fastening hardware from the new intake rocker arm assembly.
• When reassembling the rocker arm assembly, loosely tighten the rocker shaft bolts.
