2008 Chevrolet Equinox Rocker Arm Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the valve rocker arm and push rods on 2008 Chevrolet Equinox?

  A: The initial step to replace valve Rocker Arm and push rods starts with removal of valve Rocker Arm cover(s). First remove the bolts securing the rocker arms before taking out both rocker arms together with their corresponding pushrods. All push rod ends should get a prelube application either from gm product 1052367 (Canadian product 992869) or an equivalent substance. The lengths of the intake valve push rods measure at 146.0 mm (5.75 in) whereas the exhaust valve push rods measure at 152.5 mm (6.0 in). The original push rod locations will serve as the installation point whereas the Rocker Arm friction surfaces need a coating of the original prelube. Refurbished cylinders and their parts require shims to be placed under the valve Rocker Arm pedestals. Replace valve rocker arms in their natural positions before tightly bolting the Rocker Arm bolts to 42 n.m (31 lb ft). Mount the valve Rocker Arm cover(s) as the last step in the process.
