for Reuse (04-05)
Cleaning
Use solvent to clean the push rods. Dry with compressed
air.
Inspection
Inspect for engine oil in the push rods as follows:
1. Hold the push rod horizontally and drop it from a
height of 6 inches onto a concrete floor or a metal
surface.
2. The push rod can be used if a ringing sound is heard.
3. If a dull (or non-ringing) sound is heard, the push rod
contains engine oil and must be discarded.
Inspect the straightness of the push rod by rolling it on a
level bench. Replace the push rod if it is bent. Do not use
a bent push rod.
