Rocker arm assembly - grease?

Postby Bryan Cotton » Thu Nov 17, 2016 9:48 pm

The manual does not call for grease. Not needed?

The rocker arms are oiled by the engine's pressure oil system. When you're assembling the engine it doesn't hurt to oil them up a bit with engine oil, but once the engine is together and running they'll be well taken care of.
