PROCEDURE
INSPECT NO. 1 VALVE ROCKER ARM SUB-ASSEMBLY
Turn the roller by hand to check that it turns smoothly.
If the roller does not turn smoothly, replace the No. 1 valve rocker arm sub-assembly.
INSPECT VALVE LASH ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY
Keep the valve lash adjuster assembly free of dirt and foreign objects.
Only use clean engine oil.
Place the valve lash adjuster assembly into a container filled with engine oil.
| *a | CORRECT | *b | INCORRECT |
| *c | Tapered Path | *d | Plunger |
| *e | Low Pressure Chamber | *f | Check Ball |
| *g | High Pressure Chamber | - | - |
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.
| 09276-75010 |
Squeeze SST and the valve lash adjuster assembly together to move the plunger up and down 5 to 6 times.
Check the movement of the plunger and bleed air.
| OK |
|---|
| Plunger moves up and down. |
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.
After bleeding air, remove SST. Then try to quickly and firmly press the plunger with your fingers.
| OK |
|---|
| Plunger can be pressed 3 times. |
If the plunger can still be compressed after pressing it 3 times, replace the valve lash adjuster with a new one.
