- Inspect the rocker shafts and the rocker arms Rocker Arm and Shaft Inspection (J35A6).

- Prior to reassembling, clean all the parts in solvent, dry them, and apply new engine oil to the all contact points and bearing surfaces.
- When replacing the intake rocker arm assembly, remove the fastening hardware from the new intake rocker arm assembly.
