(DOHC) Caution

1.The lash adjusters are precision-engineered mechanisms. Do not allow them to become contained by dirt or other foreign substances.

2.Do not attempt to disassemble the lash adjusters.

3.Use only fresh diesel fuel to clean the lash adjusters.

(1)Prepare three containers and approximately five liters of diesel fuel. Into each container, pour enough diesel fuel to completely cover a lash adjuster when it is standing upright. Then, perform the following steps with each lash adjuster.

(2)Place the lash adjuster in container A and clean its outside surface.

NOTE

Use a nylon brush if deposits are hard to remove.

(3)While gently pushing down the internal steel ball using special tool MD998442, move the plunger through 5 to

10strokes until it slides smoothly. In addition to eliminating stiffness in the plunger, this operation will remove dirty oil.

Caution

The steel ball spring is extremely weak, so the lash adjuster’s functionality may be lost if the air bleed wire is pushed in hard.

NOTE

If the plunger remains stiff or the mechanism appears otherwise abnormal, replace the lash adjuster.
