Rocker Arm & Valve Lash Adjuster: Inspection

Disassemble rocker arm components. Keep parts in order for reassembly. Inspect components for wear and damage. See VALVE TRAIN  under OVERHAUL. Clean valve lash adjusters in diesel fuel. Submerge valve lash adjusters in diesel fuel, and using a wire.020" (.5 mm) in diameter, gently push steel ball plunger down 5-10 times. After cleaning, allow valve lash adjusters to remain in clean diesel fuel until installation. Assemble rocker arm components in original locations. Install lash adjusters onto rocker arms, without spilling diesel fuel from adjusters. Install lash adjuster holders.
