Keep the lash adjuster free of dirt and foreign objects.
Only use clean engine oil.

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

Text in Illustration
*1	Tapered Part
*2	Plunger
*3	Low Pressure Chamber
*4	Check Ball

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

SST: 09276-75010

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