I recently bought a head that was already dissassembled. When I started to put it back together I noticed the rocker arms were not marked to let me know what postion they should go in. They all look the same but I do not know if they go on the intake or exhaust side or on what cylinder.

Can I just reinstall them with no worries or should I buy new ones?

what kinda motor you got?

and how many miles

 

B18B1 with 180k

 

You are fine. It doesn't matter if the rockers are on the intake side/exhaust side as they are all the same on the b18a/b engines.

What you will have to do is if you place them in their spots, then install the camshafts/cam caps and whatnot...you will need to do a proper valve adjustment to make sure there is sufficient clearance between the cam lobe and lifter

 

You also want to loosen the adjustment on the rockers before you install the cams. Since they are going back in different locations, you run a chance of some of them binding against the cams when you torque down the cam holders. Once installed, do your valve adjustment to proper specs.

 

Awesome help!
