Valve Lifters: Removal
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Firebird and 2002 Chevrolet Camaro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Remove the cylinder head. See CYLINDER HEADS . Remove the valve lifter guide bolt. See Figure. Remove the valve lifters and guide. Some valve lifters may be stuck in their bores because of gum or varnish deposits.
- Use the Valve Lifter Remover (J-3049-A) in order to remove the valve lifters, if required. Remove the valve lifters from the guide. Organize or mark the components so that they can be installed in the same location from which they were removed.
- Clean and inspect the valve lifters. See CYLINDER HEAD under OVERHAUL.
