Rocker Arm and Shaft Disassembly, Reassembly, and Inspection: Disassembly

  1. Rocker Arm Assembly - Disassemble
    NOTE:
    • Identify parts as they are removed so they can be reinstalled in their original locations.
    • Inspect the rocker shafts and rocker arms.
    • When removing the rocker arm assembly, do not remove the mounting bolts. The bolts will keep the rocker arms, the rocker shaft holder, and the rocker arm oil control valve on the shaft.
    • If the rocker shaft does not remove by hand, remove the rocker shaft by heating the rocker shaft holder.
    • Bundle the rocker arms with rubber bands to keep them together as a set.
