  Q: How to replace the pushrod and valve rocker arm on GMC Savana 1500?

  A: The replacement process of valve Rocker Arm and push rod starts with removing the valve Rocker Arm cover. The valve rocker arms alongside pushrods and pivot support need placement in a rack to enable their original placement. The correct replacement procedure begins with unthreading the valve Rocker Arm bolts that leads to removing the valve rocker arms and then the valve Rocker Arm pivot support followed by removing the pushrods. The repair process starts by cleaning all valve rocker arms together with pushrods. Install clean engine oil both on the valve rocker arms and pushrods while also applying it to the bolts flange across the valve Rocker Arm. Install first the valve Rocker Arm pivot support before you install the pushrods into their respective valve lifter sockets while the Rocker Arm bolts remain loose. Install the rocker arms and bolts before rotating the Crankshaft until the number one Piston reaches tdc (top dead center) of the compression stroke while maintaining cylinder number one rocker arms in the off lobe lift position and positioning the Crankshaft sprocket key at 1:30. The engine position demands valve Rocker Arm bolt tightening to 30 nm (22 lb ft) for cylinders 1, 2, 7, 8 exhaust and 1, 3, 4, 5 intake. The technician rotates the Crankshaft by 360 degrees before tightening all valve Rocker Arm bolts first for cylinders 3, 4, 5, 6 exhaust and then for cylinders 2, 6, 7, 8 intake to 30 nm (22 lb ft torque). To conclude the process install the valve Rocker Arm cover.
