What goes up and down in a car engine?
The piston(s), the valves, the pushrods, and the rocker arms in an overhead-valve configuration all go up and down proportionally to the engine's turning speed.
Is there a proper way to put in pushrods for a Volkswagen engine 1600cc?
Well...kind of. There's a recess in the cam follower (which is way inside your engine) that accepts one end of the pushrod and a recess in the rocker that accepts the other end. Pushrods are the same at both ends. So... Start by rolling the pushrod on a flat surface. If it won't roll, it's bent and you need a new one. Stick the pushrods into their holes, then install and torque the rocker arm. Adjust your valves, install the valve cover and you're done.
How do you remove lifters from Chevy 350 engine?
remove intake manifold and rocker covers. loosen nuts on rockers and remove pushrods. lifters should lift right out of their bores.
Where are the pushrods located in a 1997 cutlass supreme?
Under the valve covers under the rocker arms
Valve adjustement 4.3 blazer s10?
There is no valve adjustment on that engine. If you have noise coming from the valve train you probably have worn parts such as camshaft, lifters, pushrods, rocker arms and valves.
How do you replace push rods on 89 Mercury Tracer?
on the 1.6l it does not have pushrods . it has an adjuster on the end of the rocker arm.
How do you replace the hydraulic lifters in a 1973 to 76 Chevy 350 engine?
It's not recommended to change just the lifters. The cam and lifters should be replaced together. To get at the lifters, you can remove the rocker covers and intake manifold, loosen the rockers enough to get the pushrods out, then pull out the lifters.
On a 2002 buick century 3100 Do you have to take the push rods out to change the lower intake manifold gaskets and if so what is the torque spec for the rocker arms?
You will have to remove the pushrods, and there are two ways to do it. Lisle makes a pushrod tool specifically for 3100 and 3400 gm engines which tips the rockers far enough away from the pushrods so they can be removed, or you can just loosen the rockers up enough until the pushrods are able to come out. I would recommend buying the tool and removing the pushrods that way though because otherwise you will have to loosen and retighten the rocker bolts which have a few different torque specifications. They have revised their specs on rocker torque i think a couple of times, and i have seen a lot of rockers which people have pulled the threads right out when tightening the rockers too hard so if you do take the rockers off, i would take a 3/8 ratchet and get it good and snug. Do not reef on it just get it good and snug. The tool is neat though because it acts as a lever and pulls on the bottom side of the rocker on one side and pushes on the top of the other side and you can pull the pushrods right out and then you don't have to worry about anything. The tool is inexpensive too, maybe 15-20 dollars i think. I hope this information helps You will have to remove the pushrods, and there are two ways to do it.

Do you have to use self aligning rocker arms on small block Chevy?
They came on 87+up heads with the four hold down screws that go down through the middle of the rocker cover. You can eliminate the need for them by switching to hardened pushrods and guideplates.
How does a car act when a rocker arm breaks?
Rocker arms dont break. Pushrods bend and lifters malfunction, but rocker arms rarely if ever go bad. A bad lifter will make an obnoxious taptaptap noise. A bent lifter will cause significant backfiring through the carb or fuel induction system.
Where is the Push rod located of a 1999 3.4l?
The pushrods are underneath the valve covers. I assume this 3.4 is in a lumina or something similar (sp). When you remove the valve covers--- you will see 6 rocker arms. One end of the rocker rides on top of the valve-- has a spring on it--- the other end has the push rod in it-- it goes down into the engine. you have to loosen the nut in the center of the rocker to remove the push rod. Has someone told you it has a bent push rod? Hope this helps---Thomas
