Lash Adjuster Check

The hydraulic lash adjusters are precision units installed in machined openings in the valve actuating ends of the rocker arms. Do not disassemble the lash adjuster.

FUNCTION CHECK





Fig. 14

Check auto adjusters for free play by inserting a small wire through the air bleed hole in the rocker arm and very lightly pushing the auto adjuster ball check down (Fig. 14). While lightly holding the check ball down move the rocker up and down to check for free play. If there is no play, replace the lash adjuster.
