If the adjusting
bolt has been
removed from a
rocker arm,
screw it back in
to the limit, then
fit a lock-nut.
Push Rods
Inspect push
rods for wear
and
straightness. If
a pushrod is
bent or the
ends are worn,
replace it. The
total length of
the push rod
should be 9.18
inch / 233 mm
within .040 inch / 1 mm.
Check push rod straightness using a .008 inch / 0.2 mm feeler and a flat plate. The
feeler should have constant resistance between the push rod and flat plate as the
pushrod is rotated.
Installation of cylinder head (cylinders and pistons already installed)
CAUTION: Remember that incorrect installation of a push rod can lead to bent
valves. Before installing the cylinder head, rotate the engine to TDC so the
pushrods are not attempting to compress the valves. Ensure that there is
clearance between the rocker arms and valves before torquing the head.
If there is no push rod clearance, check that the push rod is in place in the tappet cap,
turn the adjusting bolt in further, and ensure that the crankshaft is at TDC with the tappet
completely lowered. If the camshaft has been serviced, check that the camshaft is timed
correctly.
Tighten up the nuts fastening the brackets of the rockshaft in a diagonal sequence in
three passes, reaching final torque on the last pass.
Final cylinder head tightening torque is 23 foot/pounds. / 33 Nm.
With the head torqued, and piston at TDC, adjust valve clearance by inserting a feeler
gauge between valve stem and rocker arm (Fig. 4.3-7). Valve clearance of both valves is
