Rocker Arm and Shaft Disassembly/Reassembly

Rocker Arm and Shaft Disassembly/Reassembly

NOTE:
^ Identify each part as it is removed so that each item can be installed.
^ Inspect the rocker arm shaft and rocker arms.
^ If reused, the rocker arms must be installed in the same positions.
^ When removing, or installing the rocker arm assembly, do not remove the camshaft holder bolts. The bolts will keep the holders and rocker arms on the shaft.
^ Prior to reassembling, clean all the parts in solvent, dry them, and apply lubricant to any contact points.
^ Bundle the rocker arms with rubber bands to keep them together as a set.
^ When replacing the VTEC rocker arm assembly, remove the fastening hardware from the new VTEC rocker arm assembly.
