2006 Chevrolet Corvette Rocker Arm Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the valve rocker arm and push rods on 2006 Chevrolet Corvette?

  A: The first step requires removing valve Rocker Arm covers to set the valve rocker arms together with pushrods and pivot support on a rack for correct positioning. You should start by taking out the valve Rocker Arm bolts and afterwards remove the valve rocker arms together with the valve Rocker Arm pivot support before extracting the pushrods. The team should clean all valve rocker arms and pushrods while checking them for damage. To reinstall the components you must install them in their original locations because valve lash requires no adjustment since it has a net build quality. Clean engine oil should be used for lubricating both the valve rocker arms and pushrods before applying it to the bolts' flange. The valve Rocker Arm pivot support should be installed while pushrods remain positioned correctly in the valve lifter sockets and at the ends of the rocker arms without applying torque to the Rocker Arm bolts. Remove the rocker arms and bolts before rotating the Crankshaft until the number one Piston reaches top compression stroke. Keep the cylinder number one rocker arms off the lift lobe position while positioning the key of the Crankshaft sprocket at 1:30 with marks facing the 12 o'clock marks. Tighten exhaust valve Rocker Arm bolts 1, 2, 7, and 8 to 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.) while intake valve Rocker Arm bolts 1, 3, 4, and 5 also receive 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.) torque during engine number one firing position. Continue by rotating the Crankshaft 360 degrees before tightening the exhaust valve Rocker Arm bolts 3, 4, 5, and 6 to 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.) along with the intake valve Rocker Arm bolts 2, 6, 7, and 8 to 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.). After completing the installation of the valve Rocker Arm covers place them in their proper position.
