pull your valve covers, and pull your rocker arms off, once your rockers are off your push rods are right there. nothing to it at all. You will have to tourque your rocker arms back down, so make sure you have a tourque wrench.

22ft/lbs - Should run them down to 0 lash and go to 22ft/lbs without going over 1.5 turns
