Rocker Assembly Removal: Removal

  1. Drain cooling system and disconnect breather pipe from rocker cover. Remove throttle cable, remove two rocker cover attaching nuts and lift off rocker cover. Take care not to damage cork gasket or lose washers or rubber seals.
  2. Notice that under the right rear rocker stud nut there is a locking plate. Unscrew eight rocker shaft bracket nuts and external cylinder head nuts gradually, one turn at a time, until all load is released.
    NOTE: It is important that external cylinder head nuts are loosened at same time to avoid possibility of head distortion and water entering cylinders.
  3. Remove all rocker shaft bracket nuts and remove rocker assembly, complete with brackets and rockers. Remove push rods, arranging them so that they may be replaced in same positions.
