  1. INSPECT NO. 1 VALVE ROCKER ARM SUB-ASSEMBLY

  2. INSPECT VALVE LASH ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY 
    NOTE:
    • Keep the adjuster free from dirt and foreign objects.
    • Use only clean engine oil.
    1. Place the lash adjuster into a container full of new engine oil.

    2. Insert SST's tip into the lash adjuster's plunger and use the tip to press down on the check ball inside the plunger.
      • SST: 09276-75010 
    3. Squeeze SST and the lash adjuster together to move the plunger up and down 5 to 6 times.
    4. Check the movement of the plunger and bleed air.

      OK

      Plunger moves up and down.

      NOTE:

      When bleeding high-pressure air from the compression 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 quickly and firmly press the plunger with your fingers.

      OK

      Plunger can be pressed 3 times.

      If the plunger can still be compressed after pressing it 3 times, replace the valve lash adjuster with a new one.

  3. INSPECT CYLINDER HEAD SET BOLT 
    1. Using a vernier caliper, measure the minimum diameter of the elongated thread at the measuring point.
