* When the engine is stopped, some valves will be open. Spring pressure against the lifters will tend to bleed lifter down.
Attempts to repair this should be made only if the problem is consistent.
An engine that is only operated for short periods between start–ups may have lifter noise that lasts for a few minutes. This
is a normal condition.

GENERAL INFORMATION
CLEANLINESS AND CARE
An automobile engine is a combination of many machined,
honed, polished and lapped surfaces with tolerances that
are measured in the ten–thousandths of an inch. When
any internal engine parts are serviced, care and cleanli-
ness are important. A liberal coating of engine oil should
be applied to friction areas during assembly, to protect and
lubricate the surfaces on initial operation. Proper cleaning
and protection of machined surfaces and friction areas is
part of the repair procedure. This is considered standard
shop practice even if not specifically stated.
Whenever valve train components are removed for ser-
vice, they should be kept in order. They should be installed
in the same locations, and with the same mating surfaces,
as when they were removed.Battery cables should be disconnected before any major
work is performed on the engine. Failure to disconnect
cables may result in damage to wire harness or other elec-
trical parts.ON–ENGINE SERVICE
CAUTION : Disconnect the negative battery cable be-
fore removing or installing any electrical unit, or
when a tool or equipment could easily come in con-
tact with exposed electrical terminals. Disconnecting
this cable will help prevent personal injury and dam-
age to the vehicle. The ignition must also be in LOCK
unless otherwise noted.
Notice : Any time the air cleaner is removed, the intake
opening should be covered. This will protect against acci-
dental entrance of foreign material, which could follow the
intake passage into the cylinder and cause extensive
damage when the engine is started.

CAUTION : Disconnect the negative battery cable before removing or installing any electrical unit or when a tool
or equipment could easily come in contact with exposed electrical terminals. Disconnecting this cable will help
prevent personal injury and damage to the vehicle. The ignition must also be in LOCK unless otherwise noted.
