Major disassembly of the engine and surrounding components by removing the timing chains and camshaft is an option but a universal shaft-type valve spring compressor is used in this procedure instead. Start by selecting Park or engaging the parking brake or chocking the drive wheels and immobilizing the ignition by removing the leads from the ignition coils and removing spark plugs. Third, one should take out the upper intake manifold and the valve cover(s). Turn the engine with a socket and ratchet that is fitted at the crankshaft pulley bolt until a specific cam lobe of the rocker arm to be removed is situated at its base circle with an anti-clock wise turning of the crankshaft. In case of removal of rocker arms and lash adjusters, it is very important to label and place them where they can easily be fixed back into place. Take the valve spring compressor and put it over the cylinder head and only compress the spring enough to allow, you release tension on the rocker arm and pulling the arm out. To replace or remove all rocker arms or lash adjusters, begin at cylinder number one, memorizing your sequence by working on one cylinder at a time, also since the firing order is sequential, harmonize the rocker arm and lash adjuster for each valve. When the rocker arms have been pulled out, the direction of the lash adjusters can be pulled out of the cylinder head and placed with the related rocker arm. Examine each rocker arm for wear, cracks and other defects, including in particular the movement of the rollers, and the state of the pivot point. Moreover, check the lead-in end of the lash adjuster contact surfaces for wear and or damage and ensure that the lash adjuster moves smoothly in its bore with no heavy side way movement. Installation is the converse of removal, though one additional rule should apply: the lash adjuster should be full of oil when installed, preferably to the extent that there should be very little or no travel outward on the reflux plunger.

If replacing or removing all rocker arms or lash adjusters, start with cylinder number one and work on one cylinder at a time, following the firing order sequence while keeping the rocker arm and lash adjuster for each valve together.

Ensure the axle for the roller tip is properly aligned and check for wear on the hydraulic lash adjuster-to-valve stem tip contact surface.

Keep the rocker arm assemblies in an upright position and avoid turning them over.

Complete the installation in reverse order of removal, start the engine, and check for oil leaks.

Once the rocker arms are removed, pull the lash adjusters out of the cylinder head and store them with the corresponding rocker arm.
