ROCKERS ARMS/PUSHRODS
The rocker arms used in an S&S® X-Wedge® are stamped steel. They are identical across both cylinders, but we recommend that they be reinstalled
in their original position once used. Also, all pushrods are the same length, but we recommend that they be installed in their original position
during reassembly.
Removal
1- Verify that the front cylinder is on the base circle of the cams.
Note: Base circle of the cam is when the tappet is at its lowest point of the camshaft lobe.
2- Loosen the rocker arm nuts and lift the rockers out. Note that there is a rectangular steel channel under the rockers. It is best to remove this
and store it with the rocker each time they are removed.
Note: The rocker arm channels are marked F (Front) and R (Rear).
3- Rotate the engine over to the same position (T.D.C. on the compression stroke) and repeat step 2 for the rear cylinder. The pushrods can be
removed at this time.
Note: During disassembly keep track of the original pushrod locations.
