5-14. ROCKER ARMS, CAM FOLLOWERS AND PUSHRODS (Continued).
LOCATION/ITEM

REMARKS
ASSEMBLY (Cont)
CAUTION
Whenever a push rod has been disconnected from the
rocker arm clevis, the push rod must be threaded
into the clevis until the end of the rod is flush
with or above the inner side of the clevis yoke at
the time of reassembly, before the valve clearance
is adjusted. If this is not done, the valve may
strike the piston (due to the small clearance
between the valve head and the piston head when
the piston is at top dead center), and thus be
seriously damaged when the crankshaft is turned.
m.
Insert rocker arm shafts (2)
through rocker arms and into
brackets (1).
