I was curious when I install new valve lash adjusters should I oil them or just install them. Also would like to know what to torque the rocker arm shaft down to and the valve cover. Thanks |

Let them soak in oil and pump them by hand as well. |

Its a 1994 geo metro 4 dr with a 1.3L 4 cylinder engine. I had a bad valve lash adjuster on the #4 cylinder. So I ordered a new one and need to install it. So I got on here to ask about oiling it before install and torque specs for the rocker shaft and valve cover. |

That motor didn't come in that car stock then as there's not such thing as a 4 cylinder 4 door Geo Metro in 1994. Can you take some pictures of the engine and post them up? |

Alright, that helps a lot. Valve Train Rocker arm adjust............................................................156 in-lbs Rocker arm retainer..........................................................97 in-lbs Timing belt tensioner bolt ................................................20 Timing belt tensioner nut..................................................97 in-lbs Valve cover 1994 and older .............................................96 in-lbs Valve cover 1995+............................................................44 in-lbs Valve cover 1995+ 4 cyl....................................................97 in-lbs A light coating of motor oil should be all you need to have on them. |
