INTAKE AND EXHAUST PUSH ROD IDENTIFICATION

MODELS AFFECTED: 1987-1988 CIMARRONS

1987-1988 Cimarron 2.8L (VIN code W) engines have intake and exhaust push rods with different lengths. To distinguish the different length push rods, they have been identified with paint. The paint markings may be hard to recognize after prolonged use, but the push rods may be identified by their different lengths. The intake push rods are marked with orange paint and are 6" long. The exhaust push rods are marked with blue paint and are 6-3/8" long.

Please insert this information in the 1987 and 1988 Service Information Manuals.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
