Installation Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 GMC Safari and 2003 Chevrolet Astro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Important:  It is normal for NEW lifters to make a slight ticking noise when the engine is first started. Increasing the engine RPMs slightly to raise oil pressure should stop the noise.

  1. Install the valve lifters. Refer to VALVE LIFTER INSTALLATION  .
  2. Install the valve rocker arms and push rods. Refer to VALVE ROCKER ARM AND PUSH ROD REPLACEMENT  .
  3. Install the lower intake manifold. Refer to INTAKE MANIFOLD REPLACEMENT - LOWER  .
