J 3049-A Valve Lifter Remover
Important: Place the components in a rack so that the components can be installed to their original location.
Important: Place the valve lifters in the rack in the upright position in order to maintain the oil inside the valve lifters.
Important: Some valve lifters may be stuck in the valve lifter bores because of gum or varnish deposits and may require the use of J 3049-A for removal.
Important: It is normal for NEW lifters to make a slight ticking noise when the engine is first started. Increasing the engine RPMs slightly to raise oil pressure should stop the noise.
Important: If reusing the valve lifters, install the valve lifters in the original positions.
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.
