tion 4A.)
Hydraulic Lash Adjuster (12 valve)
Note
Tappet noise may occur if the engine is not
operated for an extended period of time. The
noise should stop after the engine has
reached normal operating temperature.
1. Check for tappet noise. If noise exsits, check the
following points.
(1) Engine oil condition and level
(2) Engine oil pressure (Refer to Section 2A)
2. If the noise does not stop, check for movement of
each HLA by pushing down each rocker arm by
hand while at TDC of compression stroke.
3. If the rocker arm moves down, replace the HLA.
