GENERAL PROCEDURES
Toe Adjustment —
Front
1. Start the engine and center the steering wheel.
2. Turn the engine off, and hold the steering wheel in the straight forward position by attaching a rigid link from the steering wheel to the seat.
3. Check the toe settings. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
4. Remove the clamps.
5. Loosen the nuts. zClean and lubricate the nut(s) and front wheel spindle tie- rod threads.

2. Install the bearing caps.
3. Install the four bolts.
11. NOTE: Use only flat, clean drive pinion bearing adjustment shims (4663).
NOTE: Selection of too thick a shim results in a deep tooth contact at final assembly. Do not
attempt to force the shim between the special tools. A slight drag indicates correct shim
selection.
Use a drive pinion bearing adjustment shim as a gauge for shim selection.
zAfter determining the correct shim thickness, remove the special tools.
12. Position the correct thickness drive pinion bearing adjustment shim and the differential pinion bearing on the drive pinion gear. Using a suitable press and the special tools, press the
differential pinion bearing until it seats firmly against the drive pinion gear.
13. Place a new collapsible spacer on the pinion shaft against the pinion stem shoulder. Klj . 9 ba

shown.
6. Install the special tool. 1. Position the special tool on the differential housing differential bearing seat.
2. Install the differential bearing caps.
3. Install the bolts.
7. Use a drive pinion bearing adjustment shim as a gauge for shim selection. Check the drive pinion bearing adjustment shim thickness between the Gauge Block and the Gauge Tube. A
slight drag indicates correct shim selection.
8. Remove all of the special tools.
9. CAUTION: Use the same pinion bearings and drive pinion bearing adjustment shim
from the drive pinion bearing adjustment shim selection procedure for final assembly.
Position the drive pinion bearing adjustment shim and the pinion bearing on the drive pinion
gear stem.

incorrectly functioning valve tappet
z air in lubrication system
z excessive valve guide wear
z low oil pressure
Excessive collapsed valve tappet gap can be caused by loose rocker arm seat bolts/nuts, incorrect
initial adjustment or wear of valve tappet face, or worn roller valve tappets, push rod (6565), rocker
arm (6564), rocker arm seat or valve tip. With valve tappet collapsed, check gap between the valve tip
and the rocker arm to determine if any other valve train parts are damaged, worn or out of adjustment.
An incorrectly functioning valve tappet can be sticking, caused by contaminants or varnish inside the
tappet. The tappet can have a check valve that is not functioning correctly, which can be caused by an
obstruction, such as dirt or chips that prevent the check valve from closing, or a broken check valve
spring. A tappet with a leakdown time out of specification can cause tappet noise. If no other cause for
noisy valve tappets can be found, the leakdown rate should be checked and new valve tappets
installed if found to be out of specification.
Assembled valve tappets can be tested with Hydraulic Tappet Leakdown Tester to check the leakdown
rate. The leakdown rate specification is the time in seconds for the plunger to move a specified
distance while under a 22.7 kg (50 lb) load.
Air bubbles in the lubrication system will prevent the valve tappet from supporting the valve spring
load. This can be caused by too high or too low an oil level in the oil pan or by air being drawn into the
system through a hole, crack or leaking gasket on the oil pump screen cover and tube. Klj . 17 ba
