FAQ for Other Repair Info
Q: What should be noted when priming the valve lifter?
A:
You should ensure each Valve Lifter is filled with clean engine oil and the valve lifter does not tip over (plunger down) before the installation of the valve lifters. The loss of oil in the valve lifter's lower pressure chamber or the dry stroking/cycling of the valve lifter plunger will allow air to travel into the high-pressure chamber of the valve lifter. Air in the high-pressure chamber of the valve lifter may not be purged causing extensive engine component damage.
Q: What are the valve stem oil seal and valve spring installation procedures?
A:
Install the Valve Spring, the valve spring retainer, and EN 46110. Next, tighten the EN 46110 valve spring compressor nut, install the valve spring keepers and remove the EN 46110. Install the spark plugs, rocker arms/camshafts, and the starter motor.
Q: What is the valve rocker arm installation procedure?
A:
Install the Rocker Arms and the applicable camshafts.
