Q: How to replace the pushrod and valve rocker arm on GMC Sierra 3500?
A: The first step involves removing the Rocker Arm cover where you must organize the rocker arms pushrods pivot support in a rack before their original position to begin the replacement process. Detaching the bolts on the Rocker Arm starts the procedure followed by separation of the Rocker Arm along with the pivot support before removal of the pushrods. You should clean and inspect both the rocker arms and the pushrods after cleaning. Applying clean engine oil to both rocker arms and pushrods should happen before installation as well as applying lubrication to the Rocker Arm bolt flange. The installation of Rocker Arm pivot support requires you to verify that pushrods properly fit in valve lifter sockets before adding pushrods to their final position. The pushrods must rest in proper position against the Rocker Arm ends before tightening the Rocker Arm bolts. The Crankshaft should be rotated until the number one Piston reaches top dead center (TDC) compression position while cylinder number one rocker arms should be off-lift lobe and the Crankshaft sprocket key needs to sit at the 1:30 position. Install both the bolts and rocker arms at this moment. Following the number one firing position the technician should apply 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.) torque to all Rocker Arm bolts leading to cylinders 1, 2, 7 and 8 exhaust valves and to cylinders 1, 3, 4, 5 intake valves. Roll the Crankshaft 360 degrees before tightening the Rocker Arm bolts at 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.) for cylinders 3, 4, 5, 6 exhaust valves and 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.) for cylinders 2, 6, 7, 8 intake valves. Instillation of the Rocker Arm cover should be the final step.
Q: How to replace the pushrod and valve rocker arm on GMC Sierra 1500?
A: Start the replacement process of valve Rocker Arm and push rod by taking out the Rocker Arm cover. The engine operates through a firing sequence that starts with numbers 1 then moves to 8 and 7 before continuing to 2 and following with 6 all the way to 4 then ending at cylinder number 3. This pattern occurs for both banks where 1, 3, 5 and 7 are left-bank cylinders. The number one cylinder Spark Plug removal process should begin with the rocker arms pushrods and pivot support placement onto a rack that will maintain their required positioning for later reinstallment. Begin by removing the Rocker Arm bolts until you can then take out the rocker arms as well as Rocker Arm pivot support and pushrods. The inspection and cleaning of rocker arms should be performed according to necessity. Prior to installation apply clean engine oil to every component such as the rockers and pushrods and the bolts' flange as well. The procedure requires installing the Rocker Arm pivot support as you assure each Pushrod finds its proper location in the valve lifter sockets while placing the pushrods in their correct position in the rocker arms before securing the bolts. Set the Crankshaft at top dead center compression position to position the number one Piston when the number one cylinder rocker arms sit off the lift pattern. You should use this engine position to tighten the Exhaust Valve bolts on rocks 1, 2, 7, and 8 and the Intake Valve bolts on rocks 1, 3, 4, and 5 to a torque of 30 nm (22 lb ft). Fasten the Rocker Arm bolts within the specified torque of 30 nm (22 lb ft) on exhaust valves between cylinders 3, 4, 5, 6 and intake valves between cylinders 2, 6, 7, 8. As the last step replace the number one cylinder Spark Plug and the Rocker Arm cover.
Q: How to replace the pushrod and valve rocker arm on GMC Yukon?
A: The first step to change the valve Rocker Arm and push rod includes removing the Rocker Arm cover. The cylinder sequence begins with number one followed by eight then seven until reaching two then six resulting in five then four before ending with number three while cylinders one three five and seven exist on the left bank. Place the number one cylinder Spark Plug aside before setting all rocker arms pushrods and pivot supports in a rack for future reinstallation. The valve Rocker Arm bolts should be detached before the removal of rocker arms and Rocker Arm pivot support and pushrods. The inspection of loader arms and pushrods should be followed by cleaning when required for use. Cleans engine oil should be used for lubricating both rocker arms and pushrods and the flange section of Rocker Arm bolts during installation of these components. The Rocker Arm pivot support must be installed after the pushrods properly seat inside the valve lifter sockets but before the pushrods can be positioned inside the rocker arms without tightening the bolts. Place the rocker arms and bolts onto their respective positions, while rotating the Crankshaft so the number one Piston reaches top dead center of compression stroke with all number one cylinder rocker arms beyond their lifting motion. Introduce the engine to this position for tightening the Rocker Arm bolts which lead to exhaust valves for cylinders 1, 2, 7, and 8 to 30 n.m (22 lb ft) while intake valves on cylinders 1, 3, 4, and 5 need 30 n.m (22 lb ft). The technician should rotate the Crankshaft 360 degrees before torquing the Rocker Arm bolts to 30 n.m (22 lb ft) for cylinders 3, 4, 5, 6 exhaust valves and cylinders 2, 6, 7, 8 intake valves. Install the number one cylinder Spark Plug along with its associated Rocker Arm cover.
