How to Service a Rocker Arm Assembly on Dodge Ram 2500?

You should first remove the cylinder head cover and its gasket when servicing the rocker arm. Then, take the rocker arm bolts and pivots out and arrange them on a bench with the bolts facing front and the pivots at the back, in the same order as their removal. After that, remove the push rods and set them on the bench in the same order. Turn the crankshaft so that the "V8" mark lines up with the TDC mark on the timing chain case cover which is 147° away from the front of the engine. We moved ATDC to the No.1 firing position. Reattach the push rods following their previous order, add the rocker arms and pivots in the exact order they were removed and tighten the rocker arm bolts to 28 Nm (21 ft. lbs.) of torque. You should not turn the engine or crank it after rocker arm installation; leave the hydraulic roller tappets alone for about 5 minutes. After everything is completed, hook up the cylinder head cover.

How to Install a Rocker Arm Assembly on Dodge Ram 2500?

At the start of installation, identify the longer push rods as going on the exhaust side and the shorter push rods on the intake side. Restore the push rods you removed before and insert the pushrod retaining plate at the bottom with special tool 9070. It's necessary to prevent the retainers (2) and rocker arms (4) from contacting each other during the process. In the rocker shaft assembly installing process, confirm the pushrod is seated in rocker arm (4) and the tappet. Check again after tightening the rocker shaft assembly to factory specifications. Be sure that the rocker shaft assemblies can only be used where they are taken from, as marked by the "I" on the intake side. Place them back at the same point and turn each rocker shaft bolt to 22 Nm (195 in. lbs.) in the required order. Avoid making engine movements such as rotating or cranking after installing the rocker arms; let the hydraulic roller tappets bleed down for about 5 minutes before doing so. Use tool 9070 as well to take out the pushrod retaining plate (1) and then install the cylinder head cover.
