I'm swapping head gaskets and have the 15 bolts exposed, but was wondering if it was possible to leave the rocker assembly alone. The write ups Ive read all mention removing the arms and was wondering if It's possible to complete the swap and leave them alone, thanks

Nope. U gotta pull the pushrods. Which = pulling off rocker arms

Btw. Replace all head bolts and torque to specs perfectly. And the rocker arms go on and off simply. No need to adjust anything. Just bolt on in reverse order everything

Thanks I bought arp's. So you don't need to adjust the valves?

No need to adjust valves unless you have a solid lifter cam

Pulling the rockers arms is no big deal. Just re-torque them using the correct procedure and I like to recheck mine after a few hundred miles.

Here's the procedure, very easy. Keep everything in correct order, including the top/bottom orientation of the pushrods so all parts go back in the way they came out. An organization tray is real handy for this.

Thanks, much easier than expected
