• Q: How to replace the pushrod and valve rocker arm on 2006 Buick Lucerne?

  A: Begin valve Rocker Arm and push rod replacement by taking off the valve Rocker Arm cover(s) combined with the valve Rocker Arm bolt(s). Store these elements on a clean surface until reassembly while keeping them in the correct order. Proceed with valve Rocker Arm removal together with the complete disposal of the guide plate when changing all rocker arms surface. The next step involves removing push rod units. Utilize suitable solution to clean push rods and valve rocker arms while cleaning down guide plates as well. Also ensure that all thread adhesive is removed from valve Rocker Arm bolts. Before installing push rods at their original positions into the Cylinder Head, use compressed air to clear oil from tapped holes then apply prelube gm p/n 1052367 (or Canadian P/N 992869 equivalent) lubrication to the push rod ends. Install the valve Rocker Arm guide plates with the valve rocker arms while applying thread lock gm p/n 12345493 (Canadian P/N 10953488) or equivalent to the Rocker Arm bolt threads. Use the j45059 torque angle meter to tighten each Rocker Arm bolt to 15 nm (11 ft. Lbs.) before continuing with an additional 90 degrees of torque. Finish the installation by adding the valve Rocker Arm covers before performing a noise check of the valve train.
