Camshaft, Lifters and Push Rods: Testing and Inspection

Push Rod Cleaning and Inspection
1. Thoroughly clean each push rod using a suitable solvent. Dry using filtered compressed air.
2. Inspect each push rod for wear and deposits which may restrict the flow of oil into the rocker arm assembly. Install a new push rod as needed.
3. Check all push rods for flatness by rolling them on a flat, smooth straight surface. If a push rod is not straight, install new as necessary.
