Lifter / Lash Adjuster: Service and Repair
VALVE SEALS AND VALVE TAPPETS
Caution:
^
During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. Any foreign material, including any material created while cleaning gasket
surfaces, that enters the oil passages, coolant passages or the oil pan can cause engine failure.
Caution:
^
The crankshaft, the crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are fitted together by friction, using diamond washers between the flange faces on each part.
For that reason, the crankshaft sprocket is also unfastened if you loosen the pulley. Therefore, the engine must be retimed each time the damper is
removed. Otherwise severe engine damage can occur.
1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist.
Note:
^
Valve tappets are select fit and the valve clearance must be checked before removing the tappets.
2. If removing the valve tappets, check the valve clearance prior to removal.
3. Remove the timing chain and sprockets.
