LASH ADJUSTER
Caution
D
The lash adjusters are precision-engineered
mechanisms. Do not allow them to become
contaminated by dirt or other foreign substances.
D
Do not attempt to disassemble the lash adjusters.
D
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
10 strokes until it slides smoothly. In addition to eliminating
stiffness in the plunger, this operation will remove dirty
oil.
Caution
D
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.
