(arrow) that disconnects
the line when depressed.
CAUTION-
Fuel may be expelled under pressure. Do not smoke or
work near heaters or other fire hazards. Keep a fire
exfin-

Cylinder Head and valvetrain1
Hydraulic lifters, checking and replacing
Self-adjusting hydraulic lifters (A) keep the valve clearances
within a limited working range. Hydraulic lifters are sealed
units and require no maintenance. Section view of camshaft
(6) and valve with conical valve spring (C) shown.
Under some circumstances, such as a cold start, the cam fol-
lowers may emit noise. Hydraulic lifter noise is usually a
high-
pitched tapping or chattering noise. In most instances, this is
considered normal as long as the noise goes away in a few
minutes (maximum
20 minutes). If the noise does not go
away, either the lifter is faulty or the oil pressure to the lifter is
low. Hydraulic lifter replacement requires that the camshaft
first be removed.
NOTE-
Before checking hydraulic lifters, male sure engine oil is
fresh and at the proper level.
Sticky lifters can be the result of
sludge build up in the cylinder head and lifters.
- Run engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.
Shut off engine.
- Working inside luggage compartment, disconnect negative
battery cable.
CAUTION-
Prior to disconnecting battery cable, read the baltery dls-
connection cautions given In 001 General Cautions and
Warnings.
Disconnecting the battery may erase fault
code(s)
stored in control module memory Check for fault codes

- Remove intake camshaft bearing cap for cylinder number 1.
CA UTIOG
Intake camshaft bearing cap 1 is centered with adapter
sleeves. To avoid
can~sllaft daniage, it must be removed bs-
fore any other caps.
Turn eccentric shaft on special tool until pressure is applied
to camshaft bearing caps.
- Remove remaining bearing cap mounting nuts
- Slowly release pressure on camshaft bearing caps by turning
eccentric shaft. Remove bearing caps and camshaft. Repeat
procedure on remaining camshaft.
CAUTION-
Camshaft bearing caps must be reinstalled in their original lo-
cations.
NOTE-
The camshaft bearing caps are coded with a letter anda
number. For example,
'XI" is the first exhaust camshaft
bearing cap at the front of the engine, and
"El "is the intalce
camshaft bearing cap at the front of the engine.
0 The camshafts are stamped with a code letter - "E" for the
intake side and 'MA" for the exhaust side.
0 "E is for Einlap, (German for intake) and 'XA"is for Auspuff,
(German for exhaust).
