• Q: How to replace the pushrod and valve rocker arm on 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500?

  A: The initial step before installing the valve Rocker Arm and push rod begins with clear marking then sorting and arranging every component for future assembly.

The rocker arms or pushrods require cleaning followed by required inspections. Install all components by returning each part to its designated original position. The Pushrod installation follows up with proper orientation of the upward-facing arrow on the Rocker Arm support before installing the Rocker Arm supports. The correct part number for lubricant should be used when applying it to the Pushrod socket along with the roller pivot and valve stem tip. Fastening procedures should be carried out carefully to prevent damage to the vehicle. Begin installation of the rocker arms by manually starting all bolts at points , and then proceed with inserting the remaining bolts. The crankshaft balancer should rotate until the alignment mark shows between 57 to 63 degree alignment from either side of the engine front cover alignment tab. After installing the rocker arms with proper 30 nm (22 lb ft) torque, there is no need for further valve lash adjustment. Before completion of the maintenance reinstall the Rocker Arm cover.
