    Is there any way to quiet a lazy rocker arm in a 2000 dodge grand caravan?
    Does this car have adjustable rocker arms? I know its prob not the best thing to do but someone told me that you can tighten the top bolt and it will make it better. I just need to know if it has adjustable rocker arms.
    Thanks

    The rocker arms are made of light weight die-cast with roller type follower operating against the camshaft. The valve actuating end of the rocker arms are machined to retain hydraulic lash adjusters, eliminating valve lash adjustment.
    The shafts are retained by the camshaft bearing journal caps. The hollow shafts provide a duct for lubricating oil flow from the cylinder head to the valve mechanisms. If at any point in time, a rocker was left without sufficient oil flow, it is probably collapsed and has suffered damage and will require replacement.
    If that is the case, there is no bandage for this broken leg, so to speak.
