Specifically, the Rocker Arm in Chevrolet Metro plays an important component of the engine's valvetrain system and through the operation, the Rocker Arm is able to transmit the force originating from the pushrod to the compensate for movement of the intake and exhaust valves. Made often of stamped steel or aluminium the Rocker Arm is used to transform the up and down movement of the pushrod into the appropriate force to open the valves. While aluminum is used in high RPM application because of its light weight nature, cast iron or forged carbon steel is used in heavy duty diesel engines. Rocker Arms could be of different styles such as traditional Rocker Arms, and Roller Rocker Arms, in Chevrolet Metro models. The roller rockers can be incorporated with needle bearings that thereby minimize on friction and wear making them ideal for the overhead valve and overhead camshaft models.
