2010 Chevrolet Corvette Pushrod Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the pushrod and valve rocker arm on 2010 Chevrolet Corvette?

  A: Realize valve Rocker Arm and push rod replacement by first removing the valve Rocker Arm covers while organizing valve rocker arms and pivot support and valve pushrods for future reassembly. The next step requires bolt removal from the valve rocker arms before removing the rocker arms and pivot support as well as pushing out the pushrods. The inspector should perform cleaning following visual assessment of valve rocker arms and pushrods. Engine oil lubrication should be used for the valve rocker arms and pushrods before installation. Additionally, the bolts of the valve Rocker Arm must receive clean engine oil application to the flange. Place the pivot support until the pushrods sit properly inside the valve lifter sockets and the ends of the rocker arms before securing the Rocker Arm bolts. Begin by installing the rocker arms along with their bolts but maintain the Crankshaft at top dead center of compression stroke. Position the key on the Crankshaft sprocket at 1:30 while maintaining the alignment markers at 12 o'clock before tightening. The engine must be in number one firing position for tightening exhaust valve Rocker Arm bolts 1, 2, 7, and 8 along with intake valve Rocker Arm bolts 1, 3, 4, and 5 to reach 30 nm (22 lb ft). Engine maintenance proceeds with rotating the Crankshaft 360 degrees before you torque all exhaust valve Rocker Arm bolts 3, 4, 5 and 6 along with all intake valve Rocker Arm bolts 2, 6, 7 and 8 to 30 nm (22 lb ft). Completing the installation process requires you to install the valve Rocker Arm covers.
