How to remove and reinstall Pushrod and rocker arm in 3.4L V6 engine on Chevrolet Equinox?

To remove the components, first disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Next, remove the valve cover(s). Starting at the drivebelt end of one cylinder head, remove the rocker arm mounting bolts one at a time and detach the rocker arms, pivot balls, and pedestals, ensuring to keep each set of rocker arm components separately stored in marked plastic bags for proper reinstallation. The rocker arms have a pedestal mount captured by a metal sleeve inside, and while components can be separated by tapping the bolt out of the pedestal, they typically remain as an assembly. Remove the pushrods and store them separately to avoid mixing them up during installation, using a perforated cardboard box for organization and labeling the front end of the engine. Inspect each rocker arm for wear, cracks, and damage, particularly at the contact points with the pushrods and valve stems, and ensure the rollers operate freely and the pushrod end holes are open. Check the pushrods for cracks and excessive wear, rolling each across a piece of plate glass to detect any bends. For installation, lubricate the lower end of each pushrod with clean engine oil or moly-base grease and reinstall them in their original locations, ensuring they seat completely in the lifter socket. Apply moly-base grease to the ends of the valve stems and the upper ends of the pushrods, then install the rocker arm assemblies, tightening them to the specified torque while ensuring proper engagement of the pushrods in the rocker arms and correct positioning of the pedestal projections. Finally, install the valve covers, start the engine, and check for oil leaks and unusual sounds from the valve cover area.

Chevrolet Equinox Rocker Arm

In Chevrolet Equinox vehicles, the Rocker Arm is used to play a significant role in the engine's valvetrain system, whereby it connects the pushrod to the intake and exhaust valves. Usually, made from stamped steel or aluminum material, the Rocker Arm plays a role in translating the movement of the pushrod in the vertical direction to the down ward movement required to open the valves. For high revolutions per minute operations, aluminum is used due to its weight reducing benefits while for durablity GMC employs cast iron or forged carbon steel especially in diesel engines. Rocker Arms in Chevrolet Equinox may vary and may comprise of normal and roller Rocker Arms. Roller rockers are favoured with needle bearings to lessen wear and tear, steel better than the traditional metal contact counterparts. The rocker ratio which falls between 1.5:1 and 1.8:1 in most of the modern engines, acts as a multiplier on camshaft lift thus improving efficiencies. In high RPM Chevrolet Equinox engines, improved fulcrum bearings are also used to deal with stress as well as enhance the longevity.

Each OEM Chevrolet Equinox 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.
