Chevrolet Avalanche Pushrod

The Chevrolet Avalanche Pushrod ensures that the OHV V8 engine can breathe freely. It transmits camshaft movement to the rocker arms, which in turn open and close the intake and exhaust valves in perfect synchrony. A narrow tube of steel is applied, which rides up and down on a lifter located on the cam lobe. This then pushes against the rocker and allows gases to rush in during intake and out after combustion. All this happens while maintaining strength of compression. Due to the cam's deep position in the block, the Pushrod spans the distance upwards to the cylinder head. This arrangement keeps engine height low, unlike overhead cam designs, which avoid the Pushrod altogether. The years of constant heat, high revs, or increasing valve lash pound the part until it bends, which will then tick, misfire, and lose power in any Chevrolet utilizing the same architecture, including later Avalanche editions. When the driver is aggressive with the throttle, it may bring on piston to valve contact that will warp a Pushrod. Regular lash checks and healthy valve springs are therefore even more important. Although overhead cam designs are an alternative valvetrain, the classic Chevrolet OHV system still relies on its ruggedly simple and easily serviceable Pushrod to provide the dependability buyers expect from the Avalanche line.

Chevrolet Avalanche Pushrod Parts Questions & Experts Answers

  • Q: How to remove the Pushrod and Rocker Arm on 4.3L V6 engine on Chevrolet Avalanche?
    A:
    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.
