Assembly
1. Use a blunt tool and install a plug, cup side out, in each end of the rocker arm shaft if the plugs were
removed from the shaft. Make sure plugs are in deep enough that they do not block pin holes.
2. Install a spring washer and pin on one end of the rocker arm shaft, coat the rocker arm shaft with
heavy SF engine oil and install the parts in the same sequence in which they were removed.
3. Install the remaining spring washer and pin.
4. Coat the rocker arm pads with SAE 50 Service SG (ESE-M2C39-F) oil before installation on the
engine.
5. Install the rocker arm shaft with the oil holes pointing down. This position of the shaft can be
recognized by a notch on the front face of the shaft.
