- Apply a liberal amount of lubricant GM P/N 12345501
(Canadian P/N 992704) or equivalent to the pivot pocket (1),
roller (2) and valve slot (3) areas of the camshaft followers.
Important: The follower must be positioned squarely
on the valve tip so that the full width of the roller will completely contact the
camshaft lobe. If the followers are being reused you must put them back in their original
location.
- Place the camshaft followers in position on the valve tip and stationary hydraulic
lash adjuster (SHLA).
- The rounded head end of the follower goes on the SHLA while the flat end
goes on the valve tip.
- Clean the camshaft journals and carriers with a clean, lint-free
cloth.
