Valve Lifters
- Visually inspect hydraulic valve lifters. Replace parts if damage or abnormal wear is present. If outside diameter is not within specification, replace lifter. See VALVE LIFTERS table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.CAUTION: DO NOT disassemble HVL. Keep HVL upright and submersed in oil when not being measured.
- Subtract outside diameter of lifter from inside diameter of lifter mounting in rocker arm (SOHC), or inside diameter of cylinder head (DOHC). On SOHC, replace rocker arm and/or lifter if oil clearance exceeds specification. On DOHC, replace cylinder head and/or lifter if oil clearance exceeds specification. See VALVE LIFTERS table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
