SUBJECT: MODELS AFFECTED: COMPLIANCE:

ROCKER ARM TO ROTOCOIL CLEARANCE E-185, E-225, IO-346, IO-360, L/TSIO-360, O-470, IO-470, IO-520, IO-550, L/TSIO-520, GTSIO-520, TSIO-550 AND TSIO-550.

MANDATORY AT TIME OF ENGINE OR CYLINDER OVERHAUL

To prevent mechanical interference which could cause rocker arm and/or valve failure, a minimum clearance of .020 inch must be maintained between the rocker arm and rotocoil. This clearance must be checked with the valve in the closed position and the foot of the rocker in contact with the valve stem tip. (See Figure 1.) It is permissible to smoothly grind across the forging flash line on the underside of the rocker arm to obtain the specified clearance, if necessary. The grind must not exceed the width illustrated in Figure 2. If the required clearance cannot be obtained without exceeding this grind width, the rocker arm must be replaced. The grind must be smooth and uniform. All the ground surface must be polished to remove all grind marks. The rocker arm must be magnetic particle inspected for cracks following the polishing operation. CAUTION...The presence of grinding marks or cracks in the rocker arm can result in rocker arm failure.
