Inspection [11/2017 - ]: Procedure

  1. INSPECT NO. 1 VALVE ROCKER ARM SUB-ASSEMBLY 
    1. Turn the roller by hand to check that it turns smoothly.

      HINT: 

      If the roller does not turn smoothly, replace the No. 1 valve rocker arm sub-assembly.

  2. INSPECT VALVE LASH ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY 
    NOTE:
    • Keep the valve lash adjuster assembly free from dirt and foreign matter.
    • Only use clean engine oil.
    1. Place the valve lash adjuster assembly into a container filled with engine oil.
    2. Insert the tip of SST into the plunger and use the tip to press down on the check ball inside the plunger.
      • SST: 09276-75010

      *a Correct *b Incorrect
      *c Tapered Path *d Plunger
      *e Low Pressure Chamber *f Check Ball
      *g High Pressure Chamber - -
    3. Squeeze SST and the valve lash adjuster assembly together to move the plunger up and down 5 to 6 times.

      OK

      Plunger moves up and down.

      NOTE:

      When bleeding the air from the high-pressure chamber, make sure that the tip of SST is pressing the check ball as shown in the illustration. If the check ball is not pressed, air will not bleed.
