INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT NO. 1 VALVE ROCKER ARM SUB-ASSEMBLY

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

HINT:

If the roller does not turn smoothly, replace the No. 1 valve rocker arm sub-assembly.

2. INSPECT VALVE LASH ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY

NOTICE:

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

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

(b) 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.

SST: 09276-75010

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

(d) Check the movement of the plunger and bleed the air.

OK:

The plunger moves up and down.

NOTICE:

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

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

OK:

The plunger is very difficult to move.

HINT:

If the plunger is easy to move, replace the valve lash adjuster assembly.
