  6. INSTALL VALVE STEM CAP


    1. Install the 24 valve stem caps.

  7. INSTALL VALVE LASH ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY

    Note


    • Keep the lash adjuster free of dirt and foreign matter.

    • Only use clean engine oil.


    1. Place the valve lash adjuster assembly into a container filled with engine oil.

    2. A01W1FUE01
      A01W4PQE01

      Insert the tip of SST into the valve lash adjuster assembly plunger and use the tip to press down on the check ball inside the plunger.

      *1 Tapered Part
      *2 Plunger
      *3 Check Ball
      *a Correct
      *b Incorrect
      *c Low Pressure Chamber
      *d High Pressure Chamber
      SST
      09276-75010

    3. Squeeze SST and valve lash adjuster assembly together to move the plunger up and down 5 to 6 times.

    4. Check the movement of the plunger and bleed the air.

      OK
      Plunger moves up and down.

      Note

      When bleeding air from the high-pressure chamber, make sure that the tip of SST is actually pressing the check ball as shown in the illustration. If the check ball is not pressed, air will not bleed.

    5. After bleeding the air, remove SST. Then, try to press the plunger quickly and firmly by hand.

      OK
      Plunger is very difficult to move.

      If the result is not as specified, replace the valve lash adjuster assembly.

    6. Install the valve lash adjuster assemblies.

      Note

      Install each valve lash adjuster assembly to the same place it was removed from.
