Installation (Engine in Chassis)
In order to use the valve lifter tool to hold the
valve lifters in position, the cylinder heads must
be installed on the engine.
Arrange valve lifters so that they can be identified
and reinstalled into the same hole from which
they came.
1. Rotate the crankshaft so that the drive gear
timing mark on the drive gear is aligned with
the camshaft opening. Refer back to
Figure 6-44.
2. Clean the valve lifters. Lubricate valve lifters
by dipping the shaft in clean engine oil.
With the engine in the chassis, the valve lifters
must be held in the UP position, using tappet
holders J 37720-B.
3. Insert the valve lifter into the valve lifter
holes provided in the block. As the lifter is
installed, it must be held in position by
inserting a tappet holder into the opening
through the top of the cylinder block. The
tappet holder must be positioned so that the
magnetic head of the tool holds the lifter in
position. Check to see if the tool has
captured the valve lifter by drawing upward
on the tool. A resistance will be felt that
cannot be felt if the magnet has contacted
something other than a valve lifter.
4. Secure the lifter in the UP position with
grommets provided in the tappet holder. The
holding tool shafts of two adjacent valve
lifters can be prevented from dropping by
wrapping a rubber band around the two
shafts. This draws the shafts together and
holds them in position. Refer to Figure 6-46.
Figure 6-46 — Tappet Holder Tool
5. Perform steps 3 and 4 on each of the
remaining valve lifters.
Visually check the camshaft to be sure that the
two camshaft gears and the captured thrust
washer are in place on the shaft.
Refer to Figure 6-47.
6. Insert camshaft removal/installation tool
J 41461 (3) into position on the rear
segment of the camshaft (1) by snapping the
clip (2) into position.
