2005 Chevrolet SSR Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the valve rocker arm and push rods on 2005 Chevrolet SSR?

  A: The first step for replacing valve Rocker Arm and push rods includes removing the valve Rocker Arm cover. To preserve the Rocker Arm relationships it is important to label its position during removal. The Rocker Arm bolts along with their components need to be taken off. The next step requires you to eliminate the Rocker Arm pivot support. Before taking off the pushrods for reuse you should note down both their positions and their original location. The installation process requires clean engine oil to lubricate both valve rocker arms and pushrods and to apply oil to the bolt flange of the rocker arms. Install the valve Rocker Arm pivot support while maintaining pushrod alignment through the valve lifter sockets and Rocker Arm ends until the bolts remain untightened. When the number one piston reaches the top dead center (TDC) compression position, check that the Crankshaft sprocket key points to position 1:30 before tightening the Rocker Arm bolting process. Use this given engine position to apply torque of 30 nm at 22 ft. Lbs. To the valve Rocker Arm bolts that guide exhaust flow for cylinders 1, 2, 7, and 8 while also using 30 nm at 22 ft. Lbs. Torque for intake flow bolt execution on cylinders 1, 3, 4, and 5. After a 360-degree Crankshaft rotation follow up with bolt torque of 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.) for both exhaust Rocker Arm bolts on cylinders 3, 4, 5, 6 and intake Rocker Arm bolts on cylinders 2, 6, 7, 8. Mount the valve Rocker Arm cover as the last step.
