4 Ensure the camshaft lobes are in the neutral position with the flats on the back of the camshafts up and
parallel (1) with the right-hand cylinder head camshaft
cover rail.
5 Ensure the marks on the right-hand exhaust camshaft position actuator and timing chain, made prior to the
disassemble operation are aligned.
6 Ensure the marks on the right-hand intake camshaft position actuator and timing chain, made prior to the
disassemble operation are aligned.

7 Observe the markings on the right-hand cylinder head camshaft bearing caps. Each bearing cap is
marked (1) to identify its location. The markings have
the following meanings:

toward the centre of the cylinder head.
• The I indicates the intake camshaft.
• The E indicates the exhaust camshaft.
• The number 1, 3, 5 indicates the cylinder
position from the front of the engine.
8 Apply a liberal amount of engine oil to the camshaft bearing caps.

3.21 Stationary Hydraulic Lash Adjuster
Remove

1 Remove the rocker arms from the appropriate cylinder head, refer to 3.20 Rocker Arm.
2 Remove the stationary hydraulic lash adjuster (SHLA) from the cylinder head (2).


CAUTION
• Do not stroke/cycle the stationary
hydraulic lash adjuster (1) plunger
without oil in the lower pressure
chamber.
• Do not allow the stationary hydraulic lash
adjuster to tip over, plunger down, after
the oil fill.


Figure 6A1 – 272
Clean and Inspect
1 Inspect the stationary hydraulic lash adjuster (SHLA) in the following areas:
• a plugged oil passage (1),
• a scored or worn camshaft follower pivot
area (2),
• a damaged or broken retainer (3), and
• a severely scuffed or worn SHLA body (4).
2 Replace the SHLA as required.

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.

CAUTION
Do not compress the valve springs less than
24.0 mm. Contact between the valve spring
retainer and the valve stem oil seal can
cause potential valve stem oil seal damage.

Compressed valve springs (1) have high
tension against the valve spring
compressor (2). Valve springs that are not
correctly compressed by, or are released
from the valve spring compressor can be
ejected from the valve spring compressor
with intense force. Use care when
compressing or releasing the valve spring
with the valve spring compressor and when
removing or installing the valve stem keys.
Failing to use care may cause personal
injury.
2 Compress the valve spring (1) using valve spring compressor Tool No. J-8062 (2) and adaptor Tool No.
EN-46119.

Figure 6A1 – 280
3 Remove the valve collets using Tool EN-46117 (1).
4 Remove the valve spring compressor (2) and the adapter (3).
