🔌 Function

Pivots on the rocker shaft to convert the lifting motion of the pushrod into the opening action of the intake or exhaust valve. Rocker condition and valve clearance together set valve timing, compression and engine breathing.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Persistent ticking or tapping from the valve cover area
• Valve clearance that will not hold its adjustment
• Wear, scoring or pitting on the valve contact pad or pushrod socket
• Worn or seized bush giving play on the rocker shaft
• Rough running, misfire or loss of power from a valve not fully opening or closing

🛠️ Service Notes

• Check the pushrod tip, the rocker shaft and the valve stem end for matching wear before condemning the rocker arm on its own
• Reset the valve clearances after fitting
