ROCKER ARM
DESCRIPTION
The unique intake and exhaust rocker arms have their own rocker shafts and are lubricated by passages intersect-
ing the cylinder block main oil rifle. Crossheads are used, 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 (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/
CYLINDER HEAD/CYLINDER HEAD COVER(S) -

3. Remove the rocker arm/pedestal fasteners and
remove rocker arm (1) and pedestal (2) 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 may come loose and fall into the engine.
Make sure they stay with the arm upon
removal/installation.

6. Connect battery negative cables.

INSTALLATION
CAUTION: The seal lip and the sealing surface on
thecrankshaftmustbefreeofalloilresidue,to
prevent leaks. The crankshaft and seal surface
must be completely dry when the seal is installed.
1. Clean cover and housing gasket mating surfaces.
Use a suitable scraper and be careful not to dam-
age the gear housing surface. Remove any old
sealer from the oil seal bore. Thoroughly clean the
front seal area of the crankshaft. Do not sand this
surface. The seal lip and the sealing surface on the
crankshaft must be free from all oil residue to pre-
vent seal leaks.
2. Inspect the gear housing and cover for cracks and
replace if necessary. Carefully straighten any bends
or imperfections in the gear cover with a ball-peen
hammer on a flat surface. Inspect the crankshaft
front journal for any grooves or nicks that would
affect the integrity of the new seal.

Silicone Rubber Adhesive
Sealant or equivalent to the gear housing cover
sealing surface.

seal pilot with the nose of the crankshaft.
NOTE: Failure to follow the cover installation pro-
cedure can result in misalignment of the crank-
shaft seal to the crankshaft, causing an oil leak.
8. Install the cover bolts and hand snug 2 capscrews
at the 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock position, to keep the
cover from moving when the first capscrew is
torqued. Torque to 24 Nꞏm (18 ft. lbs.) torque. Remove pilot tool.

mer (4).
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: The seal lip and the sealing surface on the crankshaft must be freefrom all oil residue to prevent
seal leaks. The crankshaft and seal surfaces must be completely dry when the seal is installed. Use a soap
and water solution on outside diameter of seal to ease assembly.
1. Clean the crankshaft journal with a suitable solvent and dry with a cleanshop towel or compressed air. Wipe the
inside bore of the crankshaft seal retainer with a clean shop towel.
2. Inspect the crankshaft journal forgouges, nicks, or other imperfections. If the seal groove in the crankshaft is
excessively deep, install the new seal 1/8” deeper into the retainer bore,or obtain a crankshaft wear sleeve that
is available in the aftermarket.
