need help on ka24e
could i get some help please. i need some step by step instructions on installing rocker arms on my 1990 240sx. illustrations would be useful. and ive already searched for it. any help would be appreciated. thanks again nico.
this is from memory so bear with me.
you should see 2 rocker shafts. They go through the rocker arms. On the rocker shafts, you should see a series of 5 bolts each.
4 8 10 6 23 7 9 5 1
that's the order in wich you remove the bolts on the rocker shafts. Loosening the bolts should be done in a few steps, not all at once.
There are little metal retainers on the rocker arms that are attached to the rocker shafts. Take them off and remember their order.
slide the rocker arms off the shafts but keep them with the opening parallel to the ground. If you turn them over flat with the O facing up, you're gonna have air enter them. Might want to have a pan filled with oil to put them in. Remember the order in which they go in by the way otherwise you'll have fun measuring them out with feeler gauges for the next couple hours with a tear and a frown on your face.
install is the reverse order, minus the emo part and tipping the rocker arms on their back so the O is facing up (bad news).

download the fsm, hehehehe. Think it can be had @ zeroyon.com, or by searching.

Re: (mitch88smith)
If you do get air in them, indicated by tapping sounds from the valve cover, idle the motor at 1k rpm for 10 minutes.
