4. LASH ADJUSTERS
Caution
(1) The lash adjusters are precision-engineered
mechanisms. Do not allow them to become
contaminated by dirt or other foreign substances.
(2) Do not attempt to disassemble the lash adjusters.
(3) 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
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.
