How to remove and reinstall the Pushrod and rocker arms in 2.8L,3.1L V6 engine on Pontiac Grand Prix?

The valve cover (s) can be troubled, but the rocker arms must first be removed; these are fastened by nuts or bolts depending on the year of manufacture, the year 1995 and earlier used the nuts with the triangular pivot ball, while from the year 1996 an engine used the pedestal mount with the bolt. Slowly disassemble the rocker arm parts, to avoid options and put each set of parts in a clearly labelled plastic bag for reassembly. If only the pushrods need to be withdrawn, then the bolts and nuts of the rocker arms must be loosened and the rocker arms must be turned in order to acquire space. During disassembly, intake and exhaust pushrods are often similar in appearance but are different lengths; intake rods are shorter than exhaust rods and are sometimes painted different colours for differentiation. This is the time to look for wear and damage on the rocker arms paying attention to the pivot seat and ball faces for galling or cracks. Check the pushrod ends for any signs of wear and debonding; pull them and if they are flat, they are bent. For reassembly, it is advised that the lower ends of the pushrods be coated with a bit of oil before they are put back in their original positions provided that they will set properly. Lubricate the valve stems, and the pushrod ends, and the pivot balls to lubricate the surfaces before there is the oil pressure. Last but not the least; replace the rocker arms, tighten the nuts to the recommended torrue setting, and replace the valve covers along with other parts and start the engine in order to check any abnormal sounds.

Pontiac Grand Prix Rocker Arm

The Rocker Arm in Pontiac Grand Prix cars is an imperative component of the machines' valvetrain system because of its function in the conversion of the motion of the pushrod to the operation of the intake and exhaust valves. Made in stamped steel or aluminium for most automotive engines, these rocker arms work to turn an up-and-down pushrod movement into the appropriate amount of force required to lift the valves. Lightweight applications such as those involving high engine RPM range favour aluminum while cast iron or forged carbon steel is used in diesel engines for better durability. Different types of Rocker Arms have been used in Pontiac Grand Prix cars and these are metallic to metallic rocker arms and the roller type that use bearings to minimize friction. The rocker ratio of the modern engines is approximately from 1.5:1 to 1.8:1 which enables a boost in the lift of the camshaft. Enhanced fulcrum bearings are also integrated in high RPM engines for containment of stress as well as enhancement of durability to ensure that the Rocker Arm will efficiently perform in successive models of Pontiac Grand Prix.

Each OEM Pontiac Grand Prix 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 reinstall the Pushrod and rocker arms in 2.8L,3.1L V6 engine on Pontiac Grand Prix?
A:
The valve cover (s) can be troubled, but the rocker arms must first be removed; these are fastened by nuts or bolts depending on the year of manufacture, the year 1995 and earlier used the nuts with the triangular pivot ball, while from the year 1996 an engine used the pedestal mount with the bolt. Slowly disassemble the rocker arm parts, to avoid options and put each set of parts in a clearly labelled plastic bag for reassembly. If only the pushrods need to be withdrawn, then the bolts and nuts of the rocker arms must be loosened and the rocker arms must be turned in order to acquire space. During disassembly, intake and exhaust pushrods are often similar in appearance but are different lengths; intake rods are shorter than exhaust rods and are sometimes painted different colours for differentiation. This is the time to look for wear and damage on the rocker arms paying attention to the pivot seat and ball faces for galling or cracks. Check the pushrod ends for any signs of wear and debonding; pull them and if they are flat, they are bent. For reassembly, it is advised that the lower ends of the pushrods be coated with a bit of oil before they are put back in their original positions provided that they will set properly. Lubricate the valve stems, and the pushrod ends, and the pivot balls to lubricate the surfaces before there is the oil pressure. Last but not the least; replace the rocker arms, tighten the nuts to the recommended torrue setting, and replace the valve covers along with other parts and start the engine in order to check any abnormal sounds.
