Rocker arm: |
|||
The rocker arm fits over a stud in the head. | |||
This is the fulcrum point. The nut on the stud is torqued to a specific value, to take the lash out of the valve train system. | |||
As the push rod raises the rocker arm up, the valve opens. A hole in the rocker arm ball socket for the push rod allows oil to flow out over the top of the valve. | |||
