ENGINE UNIT INSPECTION

INSPECT NO. 1 VALVE ROCKER ARM SUB-ASSEMBLY

Turn the roller by hand to check that it turns smoothly.

INSPECT VALVE LASH ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY

Note:

Keep the valve lash adjuster assembly free from dirt and foreign matter.
Only use clean engine oil.

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

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.

*a	Correct	*b	Incorrect
*c	Taper	*d	Low Pressure Chamber
*e	High Pressure Chamber	*f	Plunger
*g	Check Ball	-	-

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 the air.

OK

Plunger moves up and down.

Note:
When bleeding the 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 quickly and firmly press the plunger by hand.

OK
