Installation

IMPORTANT: Before each valve stem seal is installed, oil the valve stem seal and guide. If a valve stem seal is removed, it must be discarded.






1. Inspect valve stem for scratches, scores, and scuffs. Spray the valve stem and guide with clean lubricating oil to remove any debris that may be present on the valve stem or top of guide.

NOTICE: If a valve seal is removed after it has been installed, it must be discarded. The valve stem lock groove will cut the seal's lip during removal. Use extreme care when installing valve retainers and do not damage valve stems.

2. Oil valve guide and valve stem. Install valve stem oil seal with service tool SA9102E.





3. Install valve spring and cap.
4. Compress valve spring and install retainers.
5. Install hydraulic lifters in their correct locations.
6. Remove service tool SA9124E assembly and spark plug adapter.
7. Refer to the DOHC (LL0) cylinder head assembly procedures for installation of cam cover, spark plugs and wires.
