To eliminate the valve cover from the cylinder head, turn the rocker arm nuts at the frontal part of the cylinder head counterclockwise; to remove the pushrods only, the rocker arms must be turned sideways The rocker arm nuts, the pivot balls, and the rocker arms must be removed if all the parts are affected. In case only the pushrods are being removed, turn the rocker arms in a way that will enable the pushrods to be removed. All the nuts, the rocker arms and the pivot balls should be placed in containers that are properly labeled so that they can be fitted back in the right positions, the box in which the pushrods are placed should have perforations, and with writing on the box that indicates the front side of the engine. If the pushrod guides need to be removed one must mark them in order to know how to install them later. The common areas to look for defects in a rocker arm are wear, crack and damage especially at the part that may touch the pushrods and valve stem; make sure the hole at the end of the pushrods is also clear. Inspect the pivot location of each of the rocker arm for signs of wear or damage; replace any worn or damaged rocker arm or its pivot balls. Examine the pushrods for cracks and excessive wear, take each and roll it across a piece of plate glass and this will show any bending. During reassembly, apply clean engine oil or moly-base grease to the low ends of the pushrods before they are reinstalled to their prior positions and make sure they are firmly seated in the lifter shelf. Having placed the adjusting end of each pushrod over the upper end of the respective rocker arm, and having inserted the nut over each pushrod, you must then smear moly-base grease on the end of the valve stems and on the upper ends of the pushrods before you fit the rocker arm nuts. Fit the rocker arm assemblies onto the heads in the locations specified, fit the pivot balls into the holes in the rocker arms along with the nuts to secure it, using moly-base grease to protect the mating surfaces until such a point that adequate engine oil pressure is unavailable, then tighten all nuts to the prescribed torque.

Pontiac Grand Prix Rocker Arm

The Rocker Arm in Pontiac Grand Prix cars is an imperative component of the machines' valvetrain system because of its function in the conversion of the motion of the pushrod to the operation of the intake and exhaust valves. Made in stamped steel or aluminium for most automotive engines, these rocker arms work to turn an up-and-down pushrod movement into the appropriate amount of force required to lift the valves. Lightweight applications such as those involving high engine RPM range favour aluminum while cast iron or forged carbon steel is used in diesel engines for better durability. Different types of Rocker Arms have been used in Pontiac Grand Prix cars and these are metallic to metallic rocker arms and the roller type that use bearings to minimize friction. The rocker ratio of the modern engines is approximately from 1.5:1 to 1.8:1 which enables a boost in the lift of the camshaft. Enhanced fulcrum bearings are also integrated in high RPM engines for containment of stress as well as enhancement of durability to ensure that the Rocker Arm will efficiently perform in successive models of Pontiac Grand Prix.

Each OEM Pontiac Grand Prix Rocker Arm we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
