LASH ADJUSTER AND CAM FOLLOWER
• Inspect each cam follower and lash adjuster for
wear, dent and/or damage. If any defect is found,
replace it with a new one.
• Compress and stroke the plunger with your
finger by using air bleeding tool and remove the
oil completely from the lash adjuster body. Wash
it with kerosene and inspect the lash adjuster
whether it strokes smoothly. If any hitches or
stickiness is noted, replace it with a new one.
CAUTION:
When removing the camshaft holder, camshaft
and/or cam follower from the cylinder head,
always use kerosene to bleed the air from the
lash adjuster before reinstalling. Never use any
solvent, fluid or oil when bleeding the lash
adjuster, or it may cause engine damage.
