3) Bleed air from hydraulic lash adjuster as described
below:
(1) While dipping hydraulic lash adjuster in engine oil,
as shown in Figure, push check ball in usinga2mm
(0.08 in) diameter round bar.
(2) With check ball pushed in, manually move plunger
up and down at one second intervals until air bubbles
disappear.
(3) After air bubbles disappear, remove round bar and
quickly push plunger in to ensure it is locked. If plunger
does not lock properly, replace hydraulic lash adjuster.
CAUTION:
Leave hydraulic lash adjuster (after air is bled) in
engine oil until it is ready for installation.

shown. This prevents oil leakage from and air entering
into the hydraulic lash adjuster. Failure to do so may
cause air to enter the hydraulic lash adjuster, causing
loss in performance.
