Rocker Shaft and Pushrod

Clean the valve bridges. Inspect the valve bridges for wear or damage. Replace any valve bridges that are worn or damaged.



Lubricate the valve bridges (4) with clean engine oil. Install the valve bridges to the cylinder head. Install used valve bridges in the original location and in the original orientation. Ensure that the valve bridges are correctly seated on the valves. New valve bridges may be installed in either orientation. Clean the pushrods. Inspect the pushrods for wear or damage. Replace any pushrods that are worn or damaged.

Apply clean engine lubricating oil to both ends of the pushrods (3). Install the pushrods to the engine with the cup upward. Ensure that the pushrods (3) are installed in the original location and that the ball end of each pushrod is correctly seated in the valve lifters. Ensure that the rocker shaft assembly is clean and free from wear or damage. Install the 12 torx screws (1) in the rocker shaft.

Position the rocker shaft assembly (2) onto the cylinder head. The retaining clip (6) should face the front of the engine. Ensure that the adjustment screws (5) are properly seated in the ends of pushrods (3). Gradually tighten the torx screws (1). To avoid distortion of the rocker shaft assembly (2), tighten the torx screws in the center first. Work toward the outside of the rocker shaft assembly. Tighten the torx screws (1) to a torque of 35 Nm (26 lb ft).

Use Tooling in order to check the valve lash. If necessary, adjust the valve lash. Install the valve mechanism cover.
