Positioned first is the removal of the Rocker Arm cover as the first step to change valve rocker arms and push rods. The car engine operates through the firing sequence 1, 8, 7, 2, 6, 5, 4, 3 in which the left side bank contains cylinders 1, 3, 5 and 7. Place all rocker arms as well as pushrods and pivot support in a rack for later replacement in their factory locations after disconnecting the
Spark Plug from cylinder number one. The replacement process starts with bolt removal from the rocker arms and then removal of the arms (1, 2). Next step is removing the Rocker Arm pivot support followed by the pushrods. Examine and clean the rocker arms and pushrods according to need. Before mounting the components of rocker arms and pushrods you must oil their surfaces with new engine oil while applying oil to the bolts' flange as well. First step to install the Rocker Arm pivot support is seating the pushrods correctly within the valve lifter sockets while aligning them with the ends of the rocker arms (1, 2). However, do not apply torque to the Rocker Arm bolts at this point. Install the rocker arms and bolts onto the first Piston from top dead center during compression stroke when the number one cylinder rocker arms must not be on lobe lift. The engine positioning allows you to apply 30 nm (22 lb ft) torque on exhaust valves of cylinders 1, 2, 7, 8 while tightening Intake Valve bolts of cylinders 1, 3, 4, 5 to 30 nm (22 lb ft). The procedure requires a clockwise Crankshaft rotation by 360 degrees before torquing the Exhaust Valve Rocker Arm bolts of cylinders 3, 4, 5, 6 to 30 nm (22 lb ft) and the Intake Valve Rocker Arm bolts of cylinders 2, 6, 7, 8 to 30 nm (22 lb ft). Reinstall both the number one cylinder Spark Plug along with the Rocker Arm cover into its proper place.
