Hi, IMHO I would buy new ones since you have it apart already but that's just me. In the end spending $72 is a better idea so you don't have to go through all the trouble again later down the road. By all means if you DONT have the money the old rockers will work fine. I have 212,000 on my jeep and it still runs perfect...Tj

Default rocker arms adjustment

After I removed the first three rocker arms I was able to follow the haynes manual to re-install and adjust the first cylinder rocker arms. now I am uncertain about how to do the second and third. the book would have me continue on to the second and third without finding TDC for those cylinders. in my mind i think i should find top dead center, compression stroke for each cylinder, wich im not sure how to do. what is my next step?
