Visual check
Visually check the face of the rocker arm
in contact with the valve stem end for
scores and step wear. If the wear is
small, correct it with an oil stone or grind-
ing paper of fine grain size. Rocker arm
with a considerable amount of step wear
should be replaced.
•
Diameter of the rocker arm bushing
Measure the inside diameter of the rock-
er arm bushing with an inside microme-
ter or vernier calipers, and compare the
measured values with the rocker arm
shaft diameter. If the clearance exceeds
the limit, replace either bushing or shaft,
whichever worn more.
