Left-hand Side
1 Select the correct camshaft for the particular
installation location. ID markings can be found on the
rear end of each camshaft. The ID markings are
defined as follows:
• The first five digits refer to the date and time of
production.
• Example = 3L18H.
• Digits six through nine refer to engine
production code.
• LY7 = Alloytec 190 engine.
• The last two digits refer to position:
• LI = left-hand intake.
• LE = left-hand exhaust.
• RI = right-hand intake.
• RE = right-hand exhaust.

3.21 Rocker Arm
Remove
1 Remove the camshafts from the appropriate cylinder head, refer to 3.19 Camshaft.
2 Remove the rocker arm (1) from the cylinder head (2).
NOTE
Record the rocker arm positions during removal.
CAUTION
If the rocker arms are being reused, they
must be reinstalled in their original location.
Figure 6A1 – 358
Clean and Inspect
1 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).
3 Inspect the rocker arm stationary hydraulic lash adjuster (SHLA) pivot area (3).
4 Replace the rocker arm as required.

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 – 360
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.
3 Clean the camshaft journals and carriers with a clean, lint-free cloth.
4 Reinstall the camshafts, refer to 3.19 Camshaft.

3.22 Stationary Hydraulic Lash Adjuster
Remove
1 Remove the rocker arms from the appropriate
cylinder head, refer to 3.20 Rocker Arm.
2 Remove the stationary hydraulic lash adjuster (SHLA) from the cylinder head (2).
CAUTION
• Do not stroke/cycle the stationary
hydraulic lash adjuster (1) plunger
without oil in the lower pressure
chamber.
• Do not allow the stationary hydraulic lash
adjuster to tip over, plunger down, after
the oil fill.
Figure 6A1 – 362
Clean and Inspect
1 Inspect the stationary hydraulic lash adjuster (SHLA) in the following areas:
• a plugged oil passage (1),
• a scored or worn camshaft follower pivot
area (2),
• a damaged or broken retainer (3), and
• a severely scuffed or worn SHLA body (4).
2 Replace the SHLA as required.
