Buick Century Rocker Shaft Spring Kit
Designed to maintain the rocker arms on their shaft and ensure correct lash between cam movement and valve movement, the Buick Century Rocker Shaft Spring Kit will keep valve action to a maximum. The springs in the kit apply constant side pressure so the arms pivot freely, preventing the lash from growing and preventing pounding from bending pushrods, cracking pistons or burning valves. In early Buick pushrod engines, the Rocker Shaft Spring Kit works with lifters and pushrods as is typical with overhead valve layouts to hold each rocker aligned as the cam lobes enable the intake and exhaust valves to open. Later Century models utilized overhead cam heads; however, you can still use a smaller Rocker Shaft Spring Kit to help steady the pivoting followers. Bucket style cams omit this part altogether. This is the main difference in design. The open spring pressure in the OHV style relies on heavier springs resisting up to 200 pounds of open pressure, whereas the lighter OHC version focuses on precise alignment instead of sheer force. No matter which variety is fitted, the Rocker Shaft Spring Kit protects power output by preventing valve float, maintaining compression and delivering smooth burn with each mile your Buick Century drives. The Rocker Shaft Spring Kit is essential for optimal performance.
Each OEM Buick Century Rocker Shaft Spring Kit we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part.

Buick Century Rocker Shaft Spring Kit Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to test rocker shaft spring kit pressure and check for squareness using a carpenter's square on Buick Century?A:Valve spring pressure testing and valve spring squareness can be done by the usage of a carpenter's square. The valve spring is set on a flat clean surface close to a square. Measure its height and then rotate it against the edge of the square to look for any deformation or out-of-roundness. If there is a difference of more than 1/16 in. (1.6mm) between springs, or if one is bent over more than that amount, it must be replaced. Other springs are checked for spring pressures within one pound (0.45 kg) of each other when upside down as well as vice versa, meaning that this test has to be carried out by a machine shop which happens not to be common with most automobile repair shops.
