2. DETERMINE CORRECT PUSHROD LENGTH
Place the pushrod length checker into the lifter and install the rocker arm assembly.
Be sure the cam is rotated to the base circle. Seat the bottom of the adjuster screw up
against the recess in the rocker arm and turn the adjuster screw clockwise on full turn
down. This is the initial adjuster position. Adjust the pushrod length tool to the proper
length, remove from the engine, and measure its overall length.
The rocker arm should not be operated with the adjuster screw more than one turn
up or down, from the initial adjuster position. Doing so can cut off the flow of oil to the
rocker arm.
3. FINAL
ASSEMBLY
Place the rocker arm and shaft assemblies on the stands, making sure that the
correct rockers are on their corresponding stands. Align the roller tip so that it is centered
on the valve stem and tighten the shaft hold down bolts to 25 ft-lbs. After all of the rockers
have been tightened down, set valve lash and torque the adjuster screw jam nut to 5/20 ft-
lbs.
