How to Maintain and Fix a Rocker Arm on 2000 Dodge Dakota?

First, make sure to use cleaning solvent to clean all parts and then use compressed air to blow oil from the rocker arms and push rods. Check the contact area on all rocker arms; change any that are scraped, dented, split or very worn. Visually check the tip contacts on each rocker arm and exchange any that are strongly pitted with damaged surfaces. Look at every push rod end and change it if you find it very worn-if any push rod is unusually worn because of oil starvation, you should also inspect and replace the matching hydraulic tappet. Look for any signs of damage or curving in the push rods when rolling them on a flat workspace or shining a light between them and the surface. A wear pattern on the push rod might mean there is something blocking the engine cylinder head that needs to be checked.
