Rocker arm roller and rocker arm pin
1. Pass a piece of string between the rocker arm and
the rocker arm roller.
2. Pull on either end of the string in the directions
shown in the illustration.
3. Measure the rocker arm protrusion (1).
4. Mark the measuring point and remove the string.
5. Press the rocker arm roller against the rocker arm
with your fingers. Measure the rocker arm protrusion
again.
6. Calculate the difference between the 2 protrusions
(roller out and roller in). This is the roller and pin
clearance.
If the clearance exceeds the limit, the rocker arm must
be replaced.
