VALVE� CLEARANCE� (LASH)� ADJUSTMENT

NOTE: This� procedure� has� been� revised� due� to� TSB� 57 61 35, � dated� 12/1995.� See ROLLER� ROCKER� ARMS� VS� BALL� &� PIVOT� ROCKER� ARMS�.

For� 1996, � the� 3.1L� V6� VIN� "M"� engine� can� be� manufactured� with� either� roller� rocker� arms� or� ball� and� pivot� type� rocker� arms.� DO� NOT� mix� rocker� arm� types� on� the� same� engine.� It� will� be� necessary� to� determine
which� type� of� rocker� arm� design� the� engine� was� manufactured� with� when� servicing� the� cylinder� head� valve� train� components.

Roller� type� rocker� arms� are� mounted� to� cylinder� head� by� non adjustable� pedestals� and� bolts.� Although� valve� lash� is� not� adjustable, � if� cylinder� head� has� been� resurfaced� or� valves� and� seats� reground, � rocker� arm� pedestals
may� be� shimmed� to� compensate.

Conventional� ball� and� pivot� type� rocker� arms� are� mounted� to� cylinder� head� using� a� stud� and� nut.� Valve� lash� is� not� adjustable.

Lower intake 13Nm or 115" lbs upper 18 'lbs.
