VALVE ROCKER COVER
The valve rocker cover assembly (Fig. 1) completely
encloses the valve and injector rocker arm compartment
at the top of the cylinder head. The top of the cylinder
head is sealed against oil leakage by a gasket located in
the flanged edge of the cover.
An option plate is inserted in a retainer (Fig. 1) attached
to the valve rocker cover.
The valve rocker cover assembly on certain engines may
include a breather assembly or an oil filler, depending
upon the engine application.
Remove and Install Valve Rocker Cover
Clean the valve rocker cover before removing it from the
engine to avoid dust or dirt from entering the valve
mechanism. Then loosen the knobs and lift the cover

when re-installing the cover.
