      *1 Tapered Part
      *2 Plunger
      *3 Check Ball
      *a CORRECT
      *b INCORRECT
      *c Low Pressure Chamber
      *d High Pressure Chamber
      • SST: 09276-75010 
    3. Squeeze SST and lash adjuster together to move the plunger up and down 5 to 6 times.
    4. Check the movement of the plunger and bleed the air.

      OK

      Plunger moves up and down.

      NOTE:

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

    5. After bleeding the air, remove SST. Then, try to press the plunger quickly and firmly by hand.

      OK

      Plunger is very difficult to move.

      If the result is not as specified, replace the valve lash adjuster.
