INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Do not use harsh cleaners to clean the
cylinder head covers. Severe damage to covers
may occur.
CAUTION: DO NOT allow other components
including the wire harness to rest on or against
the engine cylinder head cover. Prolonged contact
with other objects may wear a hole in the cylinder
head cover.
1. Clean cylinder head cover (1) and both sealing sur-
faces (1,4,). Inspect and replace gasket (2) as nec-
essary.
2. Install cylinder head cover and hand start all fas-
teners. Verify that all double ended studs (3) are in
the correct location.

5. The valve seat must maintain an angle of 44.5 –
45.0 degrees angle.
6. Thevalvefacemustmaintainafaceangleof45.0
– 45.5 degrees angle.
REMOVAL
1. Remove the cylinder head (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD - REMOVAL).
2. Compress valve springs using Valve Spring Compressor Tool special tool# C-3422and adapter 8464.
3. Remove valve retaining locks, valve spring retainers, valve stem sealsand valve springs.
4. Before removing valves, remove any burrs from valve stem lock grooves toprevent damage to the valve guides.
Identify valves to ensure installation in original location.
INSTALLATION
1. Clean valves thoroughly. Discard burned, warped and cracked valves.
2. Remove carbon and varnish deposits from inside of valve guides with a reliable guide cleaner.
3. Measure valve stems for wear. If wear exceeds 0.051 mm (0.002 inch), replace the valve.
4. Coat valve stems with lubrication oil and insert them in cylinder head.
5. If valves or seats are reground, check valve stem height. If valve is too long, replace cylinder head.
6. Install new seals on all valve guides. Install valve springs and valve retainers.
7. Compress valve springs with Valve Spring Compressor Tool special tool #C- 3422and adapter 8464, install locks
and release tool. If valves and/or seats are ground, measure the installedheight of springs. Make sure the mea-
surement is taken from bottom of spring seat in cylinder head to the bottom surface of spring retainer.
8. Install cylinder head (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD - INSTALLATION).

ROCKER ARM
REMOVAL
1. Remove cylinder head cover. (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD/CYLINDER HEAD
COVER(S) - REMOVAL).
2. Install pushrod retaining plate (1)special tool 9070.

3. Loosen the rocker shafts using the sequence pro-
vided.
CAUTION: The rocker shaft assemblies are not
interchangeable between intake and exhaust. The
intake rocker arms are marked with an “I”.
4. Remove the rocker shafts. Note location for reas-
sembly.
CAUTION: The longer push rods are for the
exhaust side, and the shorter push rods are for
intake side.
5. Remove the pushrods. Note pushrod location for
reassembly.
CAUTION: Do not remove the retainers from the rocker shaft. The assembly tangs (1) at the bottom of the
retainers (2) can be damaged, causing the assembly tangs to break off, and get into the engine.

CAUTION: The rocker shaft assemblies are not
interchangeable between intake and exhaust. The
intake rocker arms are marked with the letter “I”.
3. Install rocker shaft assemblies in the same order
as removed.
4. Tighten the rocker shaft bolts to 22 Nꞏm (195 in.
lbs.) torque,using the sequence provided.
CAUTION: DO NOT rotate or crank the engine dur-
ing or immediately after rocker arm installation.
Allow the hydraulic roller tappets adequate time to
bleed down (about 5 minutes).

sequence shown (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/CYLINDER
HEAD/CYLINDER HEAD COVER(S) - REMOVAL).
CAUTION: The piston must be at TDC, and both
valves closed on the cylinder to be serviced.
NOTE: If removing intake valve spring, install spe-
cial tool# 9070, pushrod retaining plate (1), to
retain the intake pushrods (2).

6. Install rocker arm shaft and pushrods (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD/ROCKER ARM /
ADJUSTER ASSY - INSTALLATION).
7. Tighten the rocker shaft bolts to 22 Nꞏm (195 in.
lbs.) torque, using the rocker shaft torque
sequence.
8. Remove special tool# 9070, pushrod retaining plate
(1), if used.
