Detach the valve cover(s) from the cylinder head(s). Starting at the front of one cylinder head, remove the rocker arm fulcrum bolts, which may not need to be completely removed; loosen them several turns and check if the rocker arms can be pivoted out of the way for pushrod removal. Store the bolts separately in marked containers to ensure they are reinstalled in their original locations. If only the pushrods are being removed, loosen each bolt just enough to allow the rocker arms to be rotated aside for pushrod extraction. Lift off the rocker arms, fulcrums, and fulcrum guides if used, and store them in marked containers with the bolts. Remove the pushrods and store them separately to avoid mixing during installation, using a perforated cardboard box to ensure they are reinstalled in their original locations, noting the label indicating the front of the engine. Check each rocker arm for wear, cracks, and other damage, especially where the pushrods and valve stems contact the rocker arm faces, ensuring the hole at the pushrod end of each rocker arm is open. Inspect the rocker arm pivot area and fulcrum for wear, cracks, and galling; replace worn or damaged rocker arms and fulcrums with new ones. Inspect the pushrods for cracks and excessive wear at the ends, rolling each across a piece of plate glass to check for bending. Before tightening the rocker arm bolts, ensure both lifters for each cylinder are on the base circle of the cam lobe with both valves closed. Lubricate the lower end of each pushrod with clean engine oil or moly-base grease and install them in their original locations, ensuring each pushrod seats completely in the lifter. Apply moly-base grease to the ends of the valve stems and the upper ends of the pushrods before positioning the rocker arms, fulcrums, and guides, and also to the fulcrums to prevent damage to the mating surfaces before engine oil pressure builds up. Set the rocker arms and guides in place, then install the fulcrums and bolts. Adjustment is typically needed only when valve train components have been replaced or valves have been ground significantly. Set the number one piston at Top Dead Center (TDC) on the compression stroke, which is position 1 for checking and adjusting valve clearances. In this position, check the intake valves 1, 3, and 6, and the exhaust valves 1, 2, and 4, with the arrangement of intake and exhaust valves being left side - E-I-E-1-E-I and right side - 1-E-1-E+E. Using a Ford lifter bleed-down tool or equivalent, press on each rocker arm until the lifter leaks down completely, then check the clearance between the valve stem and rocker arm with a feeler gauge, comparing it to the specifications and recording the results. Rotate the crankshaft to position 2 and check the intake valves 2, 4, and 5, and the exhaust valves 3, 5, and 6. If the clearances are within specification, install the rocker arm covers. The clearance can be adjusted by using different length pushrods available from your dealer; if there isn't enough clearance, use a shorter pushrod, and if there is too much clearance, use a longer one.

Start by removing the valve cover(s) from the cylinder head(s) to take off rocker arms, fulcrums, and pushrods. To detach the pushrods, remove the rocker arm fulcrum bolts or stud nut and rotate the rocker arms to the side. Make sure that you store these separately. In case they are available, lift off your rocker arms, fulcrums, and guide plate. Keep them in separate containers for correct storage during reassembly. Remove and save pushrods alone. Examine each rocker arm for wear, cracks or other damage. Assess whether there is wear or damage in each of these areas like the rocker arm pivot areas and fulcrums. Anything that is worn out or damaged can be replaced at this stage. Grease the lower ends of push rods and install them back into their former places.

To remove the rocker arm cover(s) from the cylinder head(s), detach them and then loosen the rocker arm shaft support bolts two turns at a time, working from the center out until they can be removed by hand. Lift the rocker assembly and oil baffle off the cylinder head, ensuring the pins hold the components together, and then lift the pushrods out of the engine, placing them in a rack in order for reinstallation. Remove the pins and disassemble the rocker arm assembly, placing the parts in order on a clean workbench. Inspect each rocker arm for wear, cracks, and damage, particularly where the pushrods and valve stems contact the faces. Ensure the hole at the pushrod end of each rocker arm is clear, using a piece of wire if necessary. Check the rocker arm bore and its corresponding position on the rocker shaft for wear, cracks, and galling, replacing any damaged components. Inspect the pushrods for cracks and excessive wear, rolling each across a piece of plate glass to check for bending. If needed, remove the plugs from each end of the rocker shaft, using a long steel rod to knock them out, and tap in new plugs if they were removed. Assemble the rocker assembly, lubricating all friction points with engine oil or assembly lube, and install new cotter pins in the ends of the rocker shaft, ensuring the notches face down. Coat each end of the pushrods with assembly lube before installing them in the engine, returning original pushrods to their original positions. Coat the rocker arm pads with Lubriplate or an equivalent product, loosen the valve adjusting screws several turns, and install the oil baffle and rocker assembly on the engine with the notch on the shaft facing down. Position the rocker arm ball ends in the pushrods, tighten the rocker shaft support bolts two turns at a time from the center out to the specified torque, and complete the installation in reverse order of removal. Finally, adjust the valve clearances and run the engine to check for leaks.

Set the rocker arms and guides in place, then install the fulcrums and bolts. Adjustment is typically needed after replacing valve train components or significant grinding of the valves or seats. Using a lifter bleed-down tool, press on the rocker arm until the lifter leaks down, then check the clearance between the valve stem and rocker arm with a feeler gauge, comparing the results to the specifications and recording them for future reference. Repeat the procedure for each valve in the specified order, checking the intake and exhaust valves with the crankshaft in position 1, then rotating the crankshaft one complete revolution to position 2 and checking the specified valves, followed by a 1/4-turn to position 3 for the remaining valves. Clearance can be adjusted using different length pushrods available from the dealer; use a shorter pushrod for insufficient clearance and a longer one for excessive clearance.

To service non-roller lifters, first remove them and clean thoroughly with solvent, ensuring they are dried without mixing them up, as they must be reinstalled in their original bores. Inspect each lifter wall, pushrod seat, and foot for scuffing, score marks, and uneven wear; lifters that are pitted or rough should not be reused. The foot of each lifter should be slightly convex, and if it appears flat or the bottom is worn concave, scratched, or galled, replace the entire set. Additionally, check the pushrod seat for wear. When installing new lifters, a new camshaft must also be used, and never install used lifters unless the original camshaft is being reused. For roller lifters, check each lifter wall and pushrod seat for scuffing and wear, and ensure the rollers turn freely without excessive play. If excessive wear is present, inspect the camshaft; if the cam lobes are acceptable, the camshaft can be reused. Used roller lifters can be installed with a new camshaft if they are in good condition and must be placed in their original bores. Lastly, inspect pushrod ends for scuffing, cracks, and excessive wear, rolling each pushrod on a flat surface to check for bends, and replace any that are bent. Also, check the pushrod oil passage for blockages and clean as necessary.

To do so, simply take off the valve covers; if any/ all rocker arms are being changed, then the rocker arm fulcrum bolts are also unbolted here. Subsequently, remove the oil deflectors if they exist, the fulcrums, the fulcrum guides if any, and the rocker arms having always made sure that they are arranged in a manner that will allow for installation in their correct order again. If only the pushrods are removed, remove the fulcrum retaining bolts and raise the rocker arms to pull out the pushrods from the cylinder head; make sure that the pushrods are arranged for use later. Check out the rocker arms and the pushrods once they have been removed. During install use the engine oil or assembly lube on the top of the valve stem, the pushrod guide in the cylinder head, rocker arm fulcrum seat as well as fulcrum seat socket in the rocker arm. With the lubricant applied to both ends, fit the pushrods in their correct position and if necessary the fulcrum guides then the rocker arms, fulcrums oil deflectors if existent and finally the fulcrum bolts. Loosen the two bolts that secure the fulcrum and then tighten in to the required torque. If any of these were changed, set the valve clearances and if necessary, install an extra or a shorter pushrod. Last of all, refit the valve covers, and proceed to ignite the engine and check whether there are any signs of oil leakage.

Apply engine oil or assembly lube to the top of the valve stem.

Check the camshaft carefully. If the cam lobes aren't worn excessively, the camshaft can be re-used. If the lifter walls are damaged or worn, inspect the lifter bores in the engine block as well. If the pushrod seats are worn, check the pushrod ends.

Apply moly-base grease.

Install the valve covers.

If components were replaced, check the valve clearance. If necessary, install a longer or shorter pushrod.

Apply moly-based engine assembly lubricant to the ends of the valve stems and the upper ends of the push rods before positioning the rocker arms, fulcrums, and guides.

Coat the rocker arm pads with engine assembly lube.
