My friend and I are changing the head gasket and we (for whatever reason) can't get the rocker arm assembly loose. We got the head off anyway, so it's all fine, but we're really curious how to remove the rocker arm assembly, because we'd like to clean everything out.
We removed all the bolts in the correct sequence and removed the sprocket (cam gear).
Do i have to loosen the bolts on the springs? What order? I did that already, but it STILL didn't seem to be at all loose.
Any ideas? Thanks a lot

With the t-belt off, all that holds it is those bolts. The rocker assem. is it on the head pretty good, just use a rubber mallet and tap it on the sides (rotating side ever so many blows) and it will come off.

 

Sweet thanks a lot! I'll know what to do next time
I JUST got back from my friends garage and I JUST finished the replacement. I don't want to see another rocker arm assembly for a while
I have to wait for the copper sealant to dry overnight, correct?
