REMOVAL PROCEDURE





1. Disconnect the battery negative cable from the battery.
2. Remove the cylinder head from the engine block.
3. Remove the retaining clamp and bolt from the engine block.





4. Remove the guide plates from the engine block.





5. Remove the valve lifters from the engine block.
^ Place the valve lifters in an organizer rack.

IMPORTANT: Some engines will have both standard and 0.010 inch oversize valve lifters. The oversize valve lifter will have a 10 etched on the side. The block will be stamped O.S. on the cast pad adjacent to the valve lifter bore and on the top rail of the cylinder case above the valve lifter bore.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE





1. Install the valve lifters into the engine block.

NOTICE: Prime the new valve lifters before installation. The valve lifters may be damaged if the valve lifters are dry when the engine is started.

IMPORTANT: The valve lifters must be installed in their original locations.





2. Install the guide plates in the engine block.

IMPORTANT: The straight edge of the guide plates and clamps face away from the cylinder.





3. Install the valve lifter retainer and bolt in the engine block.
^ Tighten the clamp bolt to 26 Nm (18 ft. lbs.).

IMPORTANT: After all the clamps are installed, turn the crankshaft by hand two full revolutions, to ensure free movement of the valve lifters in the plate. If the engine will not turn over by hand, one or more of the valve lifters may be binding in the plate.

NOTICE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.
