Inspect the adjusting screw. The contact area must
be smooth with an even seating pattern.

If parallel scratches are found in the contact area, the adjusting screw

must
be replaced. This condition is normally found with worn push rods that will also require replacement.

 CAUTION 

If the adjusting screws protrude beyond the maximum listed below, the push rods can be damaged when the housing capscrews are tightened. Do not attempt to install the rocker lever shaft assemblies again without resetting the lash.

Loosen the rocker lever adjusting screws so there is a maximum of 32.0 mm [1.25 in] from the top surface of the lever and the ball end of the adjusting screw.
