      *1 Tapered Part
      *2 Plunger
      *3 Check Ball
      *a CORRECT
      *b INCORRECT
      *c Low Pressure Chamber
      *d High Pressure Chamber

      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

    3. Squeeze SST and lash adjuster 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.

      28 N*m  { 286 kgf*cm, 21 ft.*lbf }

      Note


      • When installing the camshaft housing sub-assembly LH, it is necessary to correctly position the camshafts as shown in the illustration. Failure to correctly position these parts may result in damage due to contact between the pistons and valves. If a camshaft is rotated, valve contact with a piston at TDC will occur.

      • If any of the bolts are loosened during installation, remove the camshaft housing sub-assembly LH, clean the installation surfaces, and reapply seal packing.

      • If the camshaft housing sub-assembly LH is removed because any of the bolts are loosened during installation, make sure that the previously applied seal packing does not enter any oil passages.
