Rocker Arm
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
DESCRIPTION
- The rocker arms are located on the top of the hydraulic lifters and the valves. The rocker arms are held in position by resting on top of the valve and the hydraulic lifter pivoting ball. There is a spring clip that holds the rocker arm to the hydraulic lifters pivoting ball.
OPERATION
- The rocker arms are used as a link between the camshaft and valves. As the camshaft rotates, the lobes of the camshafts apply downward pressure on the rocker arms. This pressure is then transmitted to the valves which causes the valves to open.
