Installation Procedure
Important:
⢠| When using the valve lifters again, install the lifters to their original locations. |
⢠| If camshaft replacement is required, the valve lifters must also be replaced. |
- Lubricate the valve lifters (209) and engine block valve lifter bores with clean engine oil.
- Insert the valve lifters into the lifter guides (210). Align the flat area on the top of the lifter with the flat area in the lifter guide bore. Push the lifter completely into the guide bore.
- Install the valve lifters and guide assembly (210) to the engine block.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners
must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring
replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant
are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or
corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified.
These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage
the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
- Install the valve lifter guide bolts (211).
Tighten
Tighten the valve lifter guide bolt to 10 NĀ·m (89 lb in).
