Lifter / Lash Adjuster: Testing and Inspection

VALVE LASH ADJUSTER






1. With adjuster set in vertical position, push adjuster pivot quick and hard by hand.
If pivot is depressed more than 0.5 mm (0.020 in), put adjuster in a container filled with light oil, and move plunger up and down until the depression is less than 0.5 mm (0.020 in).
2. If pivot is depressed more than 0.5 mm (0.020 in) even after repeating the above procedure, replace adjuster. The new adjuster is provided with a pin which must be removed before using.
