Hydraulic valve lifters, checking
CAUTION!
After installing new hydraulic valve lifters the
engine must not be started for about 30
minutes. The hydraulic valve lifters must
settle (otherwise valves will strike pistons).
Then turn crankshaft two full revolutions by
hand before starting.
Notes:
Only replace hydraulic valve lifters in complete
sets. Hydraulic valve lifters cannot be adjusted
or repaired.
Irregular valve noise when starting engine is
normal.
- Start engine and let run until coolant
temperature reaches at least 80 C.
- Increase RPM to 2500 for about 2 minutes. If
necessary, test drive vehicle.
If hydraulic valve lifters are still loud, locate faulty
valve lifter as follows:
- Remove cylinder head cover.
