Inspect the rocker arm roller (1) for the following: 
• 

flat spots, 

• 

excessive scoring and pitting, and 

• 

ensure the roller spins freely 

2 

Inspect the rocker arm valve tip area (2).

Reinstall 

1 

Apply a liberal amount of commercially available 
camshaft / lifter prelube or equivalent to the pivot 
pocket (1), roller (2) and valve slot (3) areas of the 
camshaft followers. 

Figure 6A1 – 270 

2 

Place the rocker arm in position on the valve tip and 
stationary hydraulic lash adjuster (SHLA). The 
rounded head end of the arm seats on the SHLA 
while the flat end seats on the valve tip. 

CAUTION

 

•  The rocker arm (1) must be positioned 

squarely on the valve tip so the full width 
of the roller will completely contact the 
camshaft lobe.  

•  If the rocker arms are being reused, they 

must be reinstalled in their original 
location.

Clean the camshaft journals and carriers with a clean, 
lint-free cloth.
