Removal Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
  • Before you remove the valve locks, rotate the engine so that the piston in the cylinder you are working on is at top dead center (TDC). This will eliminate the possibility of the valve accidentally falling inside the cylinder.
  • Break the spark plug loose, and clean any dirt or debris from the spark plug recess area before removing.
  • Do not remove the spark plug when the engine is hot.
  1. Remove the spark plug from the cylinder that is being serviced. Refer to SPARK PLUGS .
  2. Remove the rocker arm. Refer to Valve Rocker Arm and Push Rod Replacement .
  3. Install the J 22794  to the spark plug port. Apply compressed air in order to hold the valves in place.
