J
When cleaning lash adjuster, use clean diesel fuel
only.
(1) Immerse the lash adjuster in clean diesel fuel.
(2) While lightly pushing down inner steel ball using the special
tool (Air bleed wire MD998442), move the plunger up
and down four or five times to bleed air.
Use of the special tool (Retainer MD998441) helps
facilitate the air bleeding of the rocker arm mounted type
lash adjuster.
(3) Remove the special tool (Air bleed wire MD998442) and
press the plunger. If the plunger is hard to be pushed
in, the lash adjuster is normal. If the plunger can be pushed
in all the way readily, bleed the lash adjuster again and
test again.
If the plunger is still loose, replace the lash adjuster.
Caution
J
Upon completion of air bleeding, hold lash
adjuster upright to prevent inside diesel fuel from
spilling.
