1. Zack Says: What are they're purpose and how do they work how is it done?? like a step by step after that step and the next kind of answer ya know and thanks for your answers i really appreciate it
2. Kenny Says: It convert a up motion into a down motion.
Up motion of a camshaft lobe and a down motion to open a valve.

Even notice a DOHC motor usually don't have rocker arms because it does not need to convert that motion.
3. Scott Says: They convert rotational motion (the camshaft) to linear motion (the valves). Each time the camshaft makes a rotation, the valve opens and closes once.
4. Chad- 4188 Says: I think they allighn the engine componets.
