2. Push out the steel ball in the lash adjuster softly using the special tool (Air bleed wire 09246-32200) and shake the plunger upward and downward
4 or 5 times. Using the special tool (09246-32100), release air from the rocker arm installation type lash adjuster.
Caution: As the ball weight is very small just a few grams), pushing the special tool excessively can damage the lash adjuster. Push it with care
and appropriate force.
3. Take away the special tool (09246-32200) and push the plunger. If it feels tight, the lash adjuster is normal. If it feels soft and easy, then release air
from plunger feels and test again. If the plunger feels still soft even after releasing air, replace it.
Caution: After releasing air, put the lash adjuster straight up not to spill the oil over, and make sure there is no dust or foreign material on it.
4. After finishing the air release, place the lash adjuster on the special tool (09246-32300).
5. After the plunger has gone down around 0.2 - 0.5 mm, measure the time for the plunger to go down additional 1 mm. Replace it if the time is out
of standard range. Standard dropping down rate: 2 - 16.5 sec/mm (Light oil, oil temperature 20 - 30°C)
Adjustment of rocker arm clearance
1. Replace the rocker arm with the one specially made for measurement.
2. After positioning the rocker arm roller on basic circle of camshaft, push down the ball lightly with special tool (09246-32200) and push down the
rocker arm by hand. Maintaining that state, measure the thickness by inserting a thickness gauge between the camshaft and rocker arm.
Clearance between camshaft (Basic circle) and rocker arm (roller): 0.7 ± 0.25 mm (0.0276 ± 0.0098 inch)
Caution: As the bail weight is very small just a few grams), pushing the special tool excessively can damage the lash adjuster. Push it with care
