INTAKE/EXHAUST VALVES &
SEATS
DESCRIPTION
The valves are made of heat resistant steel, and
have chrome plated stems to prevent scuffing. Theintake and exhaust valves are both similar in head
diameter and overall length, but they have unique
face angles which makes them non-interchangeable.
The valves are distinguished by unique dimples on
the exhaust valve head (Fig. 35) .
The exhaust valve springs are made from high
strength, chrome silicon steel. The exhaust valve
springs are also exhaust brake compatible.

DESCRIPTION
The 24±valve overhead system incorporates rocker
arms that are designed to allow fuel injector service
without removing the rocker arms and pedestals. The
unique intake and exhaust rocker arms have their
own rocker shafts and are lubricated by passages
intersecting the cylinder block main oil rifle. Cross-
heads are used (Fig. 58), which allow each rocker
arm to operate two valves.
The solid push rods are hardened at the rocker
arm and tappet contact areas for superior strength
and durability.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the battery negative cables.
(2) Remove cylinder head cover (Fig. 59) (Refer to
9 - ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD/CYLINDER HEAD
COVER(S) - REMOVAL).
(3) Remove the rocker arm/pedestal fasteners (Fig.
60) and remove rocker arm and pedestal from cylin-
der head. Mark the arms and pedestals so they can
be installed in their original position.
CAUTION: When removing the rocker arms, the
sockets (Fig. 61) may come loose and fall into the
engine. Make sure they stay with the arm upon
removal/installation.
