• Q: How to replace the left valve rocker arm on 2009 Cadillac XLR?

  A: The first step to replace the left valve Rocker Arm requires removing left camshafts while maintaining the position of Camshaft followers with their corresponding stationary hydraulic lash adjusters and their original locations. The next step involves retrieving the left Cylinder Head Camshaft followers before you clean and inspect the rocker arms. Use appropriate lubricant in generous amounts to treat the roller pivot pockets and valve slot regions of the Camshaft followers according to part number references. The follower needs to sit correctly on the valve tip so the whole roller area receives contact with Camshaft lobes. The original locations should be the final destination for followers that will be reused. Place the Camshaft followers onto the valve tip by positioning them together with the shla where the rounded head faces the shla and the flat end faces the valve tip. Finally, install the left camshafts.
