Dodge Durango Pushrod
Dodge Durango Pushrod is the essential component that opens and closes each valve, allowing the SUV's V8 to breathe easily. The overhead valve layout described is found in many Durango engines. In this configuration, the camshaft is positioned relatively low in the block. Lifters ride on the camshaft's lobes. In turn, the Pushrod rises through the head, and a rocker arm pivots to apply pressure on the valve. In this way, a fresh mixture enters or exhaust exits at just the right time. This solid metal rod thus ensures compression is sealed, power is maintained, and misfiring and floating valves of a Dodge engine at speed are prevented. If the clearance grows due to wear and pounding, the Pushrod can bend, and the driver may hear a ticking noise or feel a loss of power on a Durango. A weak valve spring or contact with the piston can cause more damage in a Dodge. This highlights why it matters to get it looked at as soon as possible. The automaker's current and previous OHV-based Durango models rely on an uncomplicated and durable Pushrod design. In contrast, an overhead cam design eliminates the rod and engages the cams directly or through followers. This removes that moving part but adds complexity. It is a tradeoff currently pushing Dodge toward the proven reliability of Pushrod strength.

Dodge Durango Pushrod Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How do you remove and install Pushrod and rocker arm in 5.7L V8 engine on Dodge Durango?A:To do this you will need to remove the valve covers from the cylinder heads and the bolts that hold the rocker arm shafts in place and these bolts are the center bolts followed by the bolts at the extremity of the rocker arm shafts. After the last nut is fully loosened, carefully lift the rocker shaft assembly off of the cylinder head, being sure note the position betwen the upper intake and lower exhaust rocker arms so that they can be reassembled in their original orientation. Rocker arm positions should be recorded in order to reinstall them in the correct position; each set of components should be replaced and stored as they were found; and the pushrods should be removed and stored in an order to avoid crossing them up. It is important for one to note that exhaust pushrods are a little longer than intake pushrods not interchangeable. If the cylinder heads have been machined to a standard of flatness then it is crucial to 'shorten' the appropriate length pushrods to cover the now shorter distances of the rocker arms to the Camshaft dimensions, unless consulting with a machine shop. For each rocker arm, check if there is wear, cracks, and damage on the surface that comes into contact with pushrods and or valve stems, and the rocker arm shafts and the bores should also be checked to establish if they have worn out and or damaged, a worn out or damaged part must be replaced. There must be free passage into the hole at the pushrod end of each rocker arm; bears checking for crackline and abnormal wear, pushrods can be rolled across a flat surface to check for bend. Coat the lower end of each pushrod with clean engine oil or assembly lube and install these into their original position and ensure that it seals fully into the lifter socket. Coat the valve stems and the upper ends of the pushrods with assembly lube for protection of any mating surfaces during initial start up, then lubricate the rocker shafts, the rocker shaft assembly should have all components located in their original positions before being installed in to the head of the cylinder. Tighten the rocker arm shafts beginning with the centre bolt, in a preset sequence till the appropriate torque is secured so that the pushrods fit tightly in the rocker arms. If bolts when installed appear light before the shaft is seated or if pushrods bind, all the components inside should be examined. Last, put the valve covers back on, crank up the engine, scan for valve train rattles and knock and look for oil leaks at the gaskets.
