  Q: How to replace the valve rocker arm and push rods on Chevrolet SSR?

  A: Tips for valve Rocker Arm and push rod replacement start with removing the valve Rocker Arm cover next to placing all components in a rack while keeping their positions intact. First remove each bolt from the valve Rocker Arm then detach the valve rocking arms and the valve Rocker Arm pivot support before taking out the pushrods from the engine. Investigators must clean all valve rocker arms before performing inspections on these parts and the pushrods. Clean engine oil serves as the lubricant during valve Rocker Arm and pushrod installation by applying it to these parts together with valve Rocker Arm bolt flange lubrication. First install the valve Rocker Arm pivot support while verifying pushrods settle firmly in the valve lifter sockets before installing pushrods that connect to the rocker arms without bolt torque at this time. Primarily install the rocker arms as well as the bolts before rotating the Crankshaft to position number one piston at compression stroke top dead center (TDC). Do this when the cylinder number one rocker arms have no lobe lift and when the Crankshaft sprocket key sits at 1:30. Tighten all bolts to 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.) while the engine is at number one firing position for cylinders 1, 2, 7, and 8 exhaust bolts and cylinders 1, 3, 4, and 5 intake bolts. To complete the valve adjustment, rotate the Crankshaft 360 degrees before torquing bolts of cylinders 3, 4, 5, 6 exhaust to 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.) and cylinders 2, 6, 7, 8 intake to 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.). Settle the valve Rocker Arm cover as the last step.
