DESCRIPTION
If you encounter a complaint of HLA noise when returning to an idle after freeway driving that continues for approximately one minute, the rocker arm
may need to be replaced.
As illustrated, the diameter of the oil passage "A" on the modified rocker arm has been enlarged (0.031 in to 0.078 in). With this modification, oil
volume to the HLA increases and the period of HLA noise is reduced.
