How to remove and install Lash Adjuster and Rocker Arm in 2.8L,3.0L,3.6L V6 engine on Cadillac CTS?

Lift the valve covers off the cylinder heads and take out the camshafts out of the engines. Mark each of the rocker arms so that they are returned to the same position as they were removed from the engine and lift each rocker arm from the engine. After the rocker arms had been taken off, the lash adjusters were lifted from the cylinder head. In case any rocker arms or adjusters that have been used have to be reused, then they must be put back on the engine as they were. Visually inspect each rocker arm for signs of wear and stress, cracks and any other signs of damage and in the area where the valve stems touch the rocker arm. Check the condition of the rollers, they should not bind and should not be rough, if the bearings of the rollers are worn or damaged then the whole rocker arm will need to be replaced. It should be remembered that there is no valve adjustment on these engines, and therefore a worn or damaged valve train can quickly lead to excess valve clearances, which makes the valves noisy when the engine is running. Finally is the rocker arm pivot support pedestal; check for any crack or any form of noticeable damage. Verify that the oil passage hole is open in each lash adjuster, and that there are no sharp edges, or burrs, on the bottom of the adjuster. Spray some camshaft/adjuster pre-lube on the area of the pivot pocket, on the roller and on the part of the slot that touches the valve on the specific rocker arm. Pour fresh engine oil into the bores for the lash adjusters and then fit these into the cylinder head, placing the rocker arms on to the adjusters. The rest of installation is actually the reverse of removal. The oil should be changed and a new oil filter fitted before starting and running the engine and before disconnecting.

Cadillac CTS Rocker Arm

The Rocker Arm in Cadillac CTS vehicles is highly important in the valvetrain system of the engine where it acts in passing on motion on between the pushrod and the intake and exhaust valves. Usually made out of stamped steel or an aluminum material the Rocker Arm is an essential component of the vehicle's engine as it is responsible for moving downwards in order to open the valves in response to the vertical pushrod movement. In high-RPM applications, aluminum is preferred due to its comparatively light nature whereas majority of diesel engines use cast iron or forged carbon steel. Some Cadillac CTS model might use roller rockers that employs needle bearings which results to low friction as compared to other conventional types. The rocker ratio which wants from 1.5:1 to 1.8:1 in the contemporary engines enables more extra camshaft lift and subsequently enhanced performance. Other improved fulcrum bearings are also incorporated in Cadillac CTS engines with high RPM to cater for extra burden and design enhanced Rocker Arm durability.

Each OEM Cadillac CTS 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.

Q: How to remove and install Lash Adjuster and Rocker Arm in 2.8L,3.0L,3.6L V6 engine on Cadillac CTS?
A:
Lift the valve covers off the cylinder heads and take out the Camshafts out of the engines. Mark each of the rocker arms so that they are returned to the same position as they were removed from the engine and lift each rocker arm from the engine. After the rocker arms had been taken off, the lash adjusters were lifted from the cylinder head. In case any rocker arms or adjusters that have been used have to be reused, then they must be put back on the engine as they were. Visually inspect each rocker arm for signs of wear and stress, cracks and any other signs of damage and in the area where the valve stems touch the rocker arm. Check the condition of the rollers, they should not bind and should not be rough, if the bearings of the rollers are worn or damaged then the whole rocker arm will need to be replaced. It should be remembered that there is no valve adjustment on these engines, and therefore a worn or damaged valve train can quickly lead to excess valve clearances, which makes the valves noisy when the engine is running. Finally is the rocker arm pivot support pedestal; check for any crack or any form of noticeable damage. Verify that the oil passage hole is open in each lash adjuster, and that there are no sharp edges, or burrs, on the bottom of the adjuster. Spray some camshaft/adjuster pre-lube on the area of the pivot pocket, on the roller and on the part of the slot that touches the valve on the specific rocker arm. Pour fresh engine oil into the bores for the lash adjusters and then fit these into the cylinder head, placing the rocker arms on to the adjusters. The rest of installation is actually the reverse of removal. The oil should be changed and a new oil filter fitted before starting and running the engine and before disconnecting.
