In order to remove the valve covers off the cylinder heads remove the pivot bolts one after another, and along with the bolts, the rocker arms will have to be taken out, and finally, the pivot support pedestal. Record the positions of the rocker arms for reassembly and place all components of a given rocker in the same plastic bag with a reference label. Third, you should take out the pushrods and store them all at a specific location respected to the arrow showing that it is the front of the engine. To check the condition of each rocker arm examine them for signs of wear cracks or any damaged part that is in contact with the pushrods or the stem of the valve. Feel the pivot bearings for tightness and surface roughness; if components a re worn or damaged it will be necessary to replace the whole rocker arm. Check whether the hole of the pushrod end of each rocker arm is clear and if the pushrods are cracked or worn excessively or if the oil hole is blocked. Take each pushrod and roll it on piece of plate glass to ensure that it is not bent. To reassemble, apply a coat of clean engine oil or assembly lube on the lower end of each pushrod before refitting them into their original position, this is usually accompanied by a metallic clang as they seat firmly in the lifter's socket. Put engine assembly lube at the stems of the valves and upper ends of the pushrod, after that put clean engine oil in the pivot shaft and bearing of each rocker arm before you place back the rocker arms in their initial positions but without tightening the bolts. Turn the crankshaft until the no. 1 piston is at TDC, and tighten the intake valve tappets of cynd 1, 3, 4 en 5, and the exhaust tappets of cynd 1, 2, 7 en 8 to the specified torque. Your crankshaft should now be rotated 360 degrees by key and your intake valve rocker arms for cylinder #2,6,7 and 8 and your exhausts for cylinders #3,4,5 and 6 should be tightened to the required torque. Last but not least, replace the valve covers, power on the engine with your hands and look for noisy-valve train and oil leaking at the valve cover gasket.

You can start by removing the rocker arms, which will be loosened and stored in containers labeled as rocker arm support bars. Keep their different pushrods separately. If necessary, inspect each rocker arm for damage on the pivoting area and cracks or wear on the bearing surface; after that replace any defective ones, making sure roller bearings rotate freely. Look at the pushrods to see if they have cracks, are too worn out or bent. For reinstalling, lube the push rods and put them back into their original position with full seating in the lifter being noted. After that, place back the rocker arm support with arrows up and also wipe off grease from valve stems and ends of pushrods. Then fit all rocker arms one by one, lubricating roller bearings lightly and tightening the rocker arm bolts evenly according to a specified torque. Lastly, you can start your engine up and check it for oil leaks or noises from the valve train mechanism.

Removing of valve covers from the cylinder heads is to be done by first of all removing one at a time each Rocker Arm Pivot Bolt and taking out the rocker arms, bolts and pivot support pedestal. Keep track of their positions and store them separately. Proceed by removing the pushrods, keeping them in sequence as they are. Each rocker arm has to be checked for wear, cracks, damage as well as binding and roughness of the pivot bearings during inspection. The rocker arm has to be replaced if its bearings are worn or damaged. Also examine the rocker arm pivot support pedestal for any cracks. Make sure that all the pushrods are open at the hole on each of their rocker arms' ends and check them for fractures, large amounts of wear or obstruction in oil holes. After lubricating them with clean engine oil or assembly lube, put back the push rods exactly where they came from. In order to protect the stems of valve along with pushrod ends from damage apply some engine assembly lube on them. For every rocker arm shaft as well as bearing make sure you apply clean engine oil then install loosely into original locations (where they were removed). Rotate crankshaft to TDC on compression stroke for number 1 piston then tighten intake valve rocker arms for specific cylinders. Rotate crankshaft 360 degrees then tighten intake valve rocker arms on other cylinders. At last put on valve covers start engine and listen for unusual noise coming from valve train and to check for oil leaks.

To take out the valve covers off the cylinder heads, first, do the bolts of the rocker arm pivot one at a time and get the rocker arms and bolts out and then the pedestal that supports the pivot of the rocker arm and make sure to record the positions of the rocker arms for future use. Another way is stacking each set of rocker component to be kept in the marked plastic bags to know its place of keeping. After that, get rid of the pushrods and put them aside in various batches so they do not get interchanged in usage with the correct orientation of the arrow that signifies the front of the engine. Visually examine the side of each rocker arm for wear, cracks and other signs of damage especially around the contact point with the pushrods and at the contact area of the valve stem contact point and also visually inspect the pivot bearing for binding or roughness as the bearing indicates that they must be replaced with the whole rocker arm. In the same way, check for cracks on the rocker arm pivot support pedestal; and on the other end of the rocker, ensure that the hole at the pushrod end is clear. Exploring the pushrods for cracks or signs of excessive wear and to make sure the oil hole of the pushrod is not blocked you should roll them on a flat surface to feel if they are bent. To reinstall them, apply clean engine oil or assembly lube to the lower end of the respective pushrod as well as to insert it back to its intended position the pushrod must fully seat into the lifter socket. Coat the valve stems and the upper ends of the pushrods with engine assembly lube to help in protecting mating surfaces during the first run; coat the pivot shaft and bearing of each of the rocker arms before loosely inserting them and without tightening the bolts. Turn the crankshaft to have the number one piston at TDC then torque the intake and exhaust valve rocker arms for cylinders 1, 3, 4, and 5 and the exhaust rocker arms for cylinders 1, 2, 7 and 8 as per their torque specification. Turn crankshaft 360 degrees and torque intake valve rocker arm for cylinder 2, 6, 7 and 8, and exhaust valve rocker arm for cylinder 3, 4, 5 and 6. Last, replace the valve covers and switch on the engine to check for any abnormal sound from the valve train part also you should look for oil leaks at the gaskets of the valve covers.

To remove the valve covers from the cylinder heads, first loosen the rocker arm pivot bolts one at a time and take out the rocker arms and bolts, followed by the pivot support pedestal if equipped, ensuring to keep track of the rocker arm positions for reinstallation. Store each set of rocker components in marked plastic bags to maintain their original locations, noting that the 7.0L (LS7) engine does not use pivot support pedestals and that the intake rocker arms are offset while the exhaust rocker arms are not. Next, remove the pushrods and store them separately to avoid mixing them up, paying attention to the arrow indicating the front of the engine. Inspect each rocker arm for wear, cracks, and damage, particularly at the contact points with the pushrods and valve stems, and check the pivot bearings for binding or roughness, as worn bearings will necessitate replacing the entire rocker arm. Additionally, examine the rocker arm pivot support pedestal for cracks and ensure the hole at the pushrod end of each rocker arm is clear. Inspect the pushrods for cracks and excessive wear, ensuring the oil hole is not clogged, and roll each pushrod across a flat surface to check for bending. For installation, lubricate the lower end of each pushrod with clean engine oil or assembly lube and reinstall them in their original locations, ensuring they seat completely in the lifter socket. Apply engine assembly lube to the ends of the valve stems and upper ends of the pushrods to protect mating surfaces during initial start-up, then apply clean engine oil to the pivot shaft and bearing of each rocker arm before loosely installing them in their original locations without tightening the bolts. Rotate the crankshaft until the number one piston is at TDC, then tighten the intake valve rocker arms for cylinders 1, 3, 4, and 5, and the exhaust rocker arms for cylinders 1, 2, 7, and 8, ensuring each rocker arm bolt is tightened to the specified torque. Rotate the crankshaft 360 degrees and tighten the intake valve rocker arms for cylinders 2, 6, 7, and 8, and the exhaust rocker arms for cylinders 3, 4, 5, and 6, again ensuring proper torque. Finally, install the valve covers, start the engine, and listen for any unusual valve train noises while checking for oil leaks at the valve cover gaskets.

Rotate the crankshaft until the number one piston is at TDC on the compression stroke, ensuring both pushrods for the number one cylinder are in the lowered position, then tighten the intake valve rocker arms for cylinders 1, 3, 4, and 5, and the exhaust rocker arms for cylinders 1, 2, 7, and 8, to the specified torque. Rotate the crankshaft 360 degrees and tighten the intake valve rocker arms for cylinders 2, 6, 7, and 8, and the exhaust rocker arms for cylinders 3, 4, 5, and 6, to the specified torque. Finally, install the valve covers, start the engine, and listen for unusual valve train noises while checking for oil leaks at the valve cover gaskets.

To remove the valve cover(s) from the cylinder head(s), begin at the front of one cylinder head by loosening and removing the rocker arm stud nuts or bolts, storing them in marked containers to ensure proper reinstallation. If only the pushrods are being removed, loosen each nut just enough to rotate the rocker arms aside for pushrod removal. Lift off the rocker arms and pivot balls, storing them with their respective nuts. Remove the pushrods and keep them separate, using a labeled container to avoid mix-ups. Inspect each rocker arm for wear, cracks, and damage, ensuring the pushrod end holes are clear. Check the pivot areas for wear and replace any damaged rocker arms and pivot balls, particularly on 2000 and later 4.3L V6 models, where roller bearings should also be checked. Inspect pushrods for cracks and excessive wear, rolling them across a flat surface to check for bends. Lubricate the lower ends of the pushrods with clean engine oil or moly-base grease before reinstalling them in their original locations, ensuring they seat completely in the lifters. Apply moly-base grease to the valve stems and pushrod ends before positioning the rocker arms, then set them in place and install the pivot balls and nuts/bolts finger tight, applying grease to the pivot balls to protect mating surfaces. For 2014 and earlier 4.3L V6 models, rotate the crankshaft to 60 degrees before TDC to reduce valve spring tension while tightening the rocker arm nuts/bolts to the specified torque. For 5.0L and 5.7L V8 models, rotate the engine to TDC for the number 1 cylinder on the compression stroke, tightening the rocker arm nuts until all play is removed from the pushrods, then tighten each nut an additional 3/4 turn. Adjust the intake and exhaust valves for the appropriate cylinders while the engine is at TDC. For 7.4L V8 models, rotate the engine to TDC for the number 1 cylinder and tighten the rocker arm bolts to the specified torque. For 2018 and later 4.3L V6 models, lubricate the pushrods and valve stems, install the rocker arms loosely, and tighten the rocker arms for the specified cylinders when the number one piston is at TDC. After rotating the crankshaft 360 degrees, tighten the rocker arms for the remaining cylinders. The remainder of the installation follows the reverse order of removal, and once completed, start the engine to check for valve cover leaks and valvetrain noise.

Eliminating the components should be done by first unclipping the cable from the negative terminal of a battery. Then, take off the valve cover(s) to start doing the change process as shown below; The 3 bolts of the rocker arm mounting will be loosened one by one beginning with the drivebelt end of one cylinder head without removing them all; then the rocker arms, pivot balls, and pedestals must be separated, taking careful to stock all the parts of the rocker arm individually in accurately identified plastic bags for correct refitting. The rocker arms have a pedestal mount which is secured by a metal sleeve; the parts are in more or less integrated in assembly where the bolt can be tapped out. Take out the pushrods and keep them separately using a perforated cardboard box since the intake and the exhaust pushrods may differ in size and in terms of their colour. Check rocker arms for signs of wear, cracks or damage; also check that the rollers slide smoothly, and that the holes in the pushrod ends are open. Inspect push rods for any cracks, etc., and to look for any bending try to roll them over a flat surface. For reassembly apply clean engine oil or moly-base grease to the lower ends of the pushrods and replace them on the engine block where they belong so that they snap firmly in the lifter socket. Suffice it to say that it is customary to apply moly-base grease before the engines are started on each valve stem and upper end of the pushrods, and apply clean engine oil to the pivot balls and bearing surfaces of each rocker arm prior to the oil pressure coming up. Install the rocker arms, the pivot balls; pedestals and bolts fasten them to the standard torque limit before ensuring the pushrods engage and the correct positioning of the projections on the pedestals. Last but not the least; fit back the valve covers, turn on the engine and look for any dripping of oil or any noises coming from under the valve cover.
