Reinstall
1 Fill the stationary hydraulic lash adjuster (SHLA) with
clean engine oil. Take precautions to prevent
scratching the pivot sphere area of the SHLA.
2 Lubricate the SHLA bores in the cylinder head with clean engine oil.
3 Install the SHLA in the cylinder head (2).
4 Apply a liberal amount of commercially available camshaft/lifter prelube to the SHLA pivot spheres.
5 Install the rocker arms, refer to 3.20 Rocker Arm.
CAUTION
Ensure each lash adjuster (1) is filled with
clean engine oil and the adjuster does not
tip over, plunger down, before the
installation. The loss of oil in the adjuster
lower pressure chamber, or the dry
stroking/cycling of the adjuster plunger, will
allow air to enter the high pressure chamber
of the valve lifter. Air in the high pressure
chamber of the adjuster may not be purged
causing cavitation and extensive engine
component damage.
