2009 Chevrolet Equinox Pushrod Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the pushrods and valve rocker arm on 2009 Chevrolet Equinox?

  A: First remove the valve Rocker Arm cover(s) because you need to change the valve Rocker Arm and push rods. The procedure starts by removing bolt(s) from the rocker arms then proceeding to take away both valve Rocker Arm(s) and Pushrod(s). Prior to installation the ends of push rods require prelube gm p/n 1052367 (Canadian P/N 992869) or its equivalent solution. Intake valve push rods measure 146.0 mm (5.75 in) long and exhaust valve push rods extend to 152.5 mm (6.0 in) in length. Insert push rods to their factory installation points then apply identical prelube material to the Rocker Arm friction contacts. Shims need to be placed under valve Rocker Arm pedestals when the components of the Cylinder Head have undergone reconditioning. Fit the valve rocker arms where they belonged before you tighten all valve Rocker Arm bolts to 32 nm (24 lb ft). Reinstall the valve Rocker Arm covers as the last step.
