  Q: How to remove and install rocker arms and Lash Adjuster in 3.5L V6 engine on Dodge Magnum?

  A: During the course of taking these out, be careful not to allow any air to enter into the lash adjusters and protect the plastic retainers and the lash adjusters from any damage. First remove valve cover(s), then mark rocker arms and pedestals for identification purposes. There are two intake and two exhaust rocker arms per cylinder. Gradually loosen each rocker arm shaft bolt until they can be hand-removed as an assembly, making sure to loosen them in reverse order of tightening sequence. Don't put it upside down or let it rest on top of the lash adjuster when handling the rocker arm assembly so as not to cause potential harm. To inspect, closely examine each rocker arm for wear, cracks, etc., paying particular attention to the steel roller tips/hydraulic lash adjusters. Make sure there are no roller wear signs while rolling smoothly on steel roller surfaces; also check if there is any wearing out or damage at contact faces of a hydraulic lash adjuster with a valve stem tip surface. Ascertain that all lashes' retaining caps securely hold all tongues in place on rockers' arms. Do not ever try removing any latch tumbler from said arms since either part will suffer destruction above described lines. Check rocks pivot areas and shafts for wear, cracks, galling and replace those worn out or damaged rockers or shafts Confirm that one side does not protrude more than another at axle of roller tip; also its hydraulic lash adjuster's valve stem tip contact surface should be inspected for wear, cracks or galling.Then use 4 mm screw (with nuts), washer and spacer as a puller for removal of dowel pins from each pedestal for further inspection purposes Note: New dowel pins must be installed during reassembly phase In case you previously have removed intakeshaft/pedestal or exhaustshaft/pedestal together with inspection execute lubrication of both shafts before installing rockers along with respective pedestals into their pre-marked order. It is necessary to assemble the intake rockers on the intake shaft and exhaust rockers on the exhaust shaft, paying attention that when they are assembled notches in rocker arm shafts should be up to avoid damaging arm. Then reinstall new dowel pins in each pedestal by pressing them until bottom out To install the rocker arm assemblies properly, and to achieve a "no load" situation on the valvetrain, ensure that the camshafts are in a "neutral" position. Rotate engine until crankshaft sprocket and camshaft sprockets align correctly for TDC number 1 Tighten right side rocker arm assembly bolts following appropriate sequence/torque specifications then install left rocker arm assembly with notches on left rocker arm shafts aiming up and toward front of engine Observe the correct torque sequence for tightening. The remaining steps of installation process are just reversely similar to those of removal procedure, start an engine after completion check oil leakages.
