  Q: How to replace the valve rocker arm and push rods on Cadillac Escalade?

  A:

  Start the replacement process of valve Rocker Arm and push rods by taking out the Rocker Arm cover while keeping the rocker arms pushrods and pivot support arranged in a rack to show their original positions. Proceed by removing both Rocker Arm bolts and their accompanying rocker arms and Rocker Arm pivot support with the pushrods. Proceed with inspection and cleaning of the Rocker Arm components. The reinstallation process requires clean engine oil for lubricating both the rocker arms and pushrods as well as the flange of the Rocker Arm bolts. Put in the Rocker Arm pivot support while checking the pushrods correctly sit inside the valve lifter sockets before placing in the pushrods and making sure they settle properly into the rocker arms before proceeding without bolt tightening. Position the number one Piston at top dead center (TDC) of the compression stroke by rotating the Crankshaft so that the cylinder number one rocker arms clear lobe lift and the Crankshaft sprocket key points towards 1:30. When the engine stands at position number one keep valve bolt torque at 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.) for Exhaust Valves in cylinders 1, 2, 7, 8 and for Intake Valves in cylinders 1, 3, 4, 5. To complete the procedure you need to shift the Crankshaft by 360 degrees before tightening the Rocker Arm bolts for exhaust valves 3, 4, 5, 6 to 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.) and the Intake Valve bolts 2, 6, 7, 8 to 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.). Place the Rocker Arm cover into position as the last step.

  Q: How to Service and Repair the Rocker Arm Assembly on a Cadillac Escalade?

  A:

  The Rocker Arm cover needs removal at the beginning step when replacing the valve Rocker Arm and push rods. Cylinder numbers run in the sequence 1, 8, 7, 2, 6, 5, 4, 3 in engine firing order and cylinders 1, 3, 5, and 7 belong to the left bank. Move Spark Plug number one from cylinder one before placing the rack with rocker arms pivot support and pushrods where you will reinstall them according to their original locations. Start by unbolted the Rocker Arm bolts then remove the rocker arms and Rocker Arm pivot support with the pushrods. The necessary inspection and cleaning procedures should be performed on rocker arms and pushrods. To install the device you must first apply clean engine oil both to the rocker arms and pushrods and then lubricate the flange on the Rocker Arm bolts. Place the pushrods into their proper location in the valve lifter sockets before placing the pushrod in the rocker arms and checking for correct placement while avoiding bolt tightening at this time. Keep to engine firing sequence when installing rocker arms together with their bolts. Run the Crankshaft to position the number one Piston at the top dead center of compression stroke while confirming the rocker arms of the number one cylinder remain off the lobe lift. Tupon the exhaust valves of cylinders 1, 2, 7 and 8 tighten the Rocker Arm bolts to 30 n.m (22 lb ft) while on cylinders 1, 3, 4 and 5 intake valves tighten the bolts to 30 n.m (22 lb ft). After rotating the Crankshaft 360 degrees complete the bolt tightening for exhaust valves in rocks 3, 4, 5 and 6 and the bolt tightening for intake valves in rocks 2, 6, 7 and 8 to 30 n.m (22 lb ft). Reinstall both the number one Spark Plug along with the Rocker Arm cover.
