Saturn LS Lash Adjuster

The primary job of Lash Adjuster in Saturn LS vehicles is to lift the valve closer to the camshaft and make engine rolling relatively smooth, and thereby reduces the wear and tear of the engine. This one is occasionally referred to as a tappet, and changes the circular motion of the camshaft into the linear one required for valves, so that the intake and exhaust operations are timed perfectly. Several types of Lash Adjusters have been used in Saturn LS models; they include solid, hydraulic, and roller types. Among these kinds, hydraulic lifters are preferred to others due to their capacity of self clearance control by oil pressure. Roller tappets are gradually replacing flat ones because of least friction and improved efficiency because of increased sophistication in engine designs and technologies. The arrangement of these lifters differs with the engine type and gives an idea of how they have been improved in automotive engineering.

Each OEM Saturn LS Lash Adjuster we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.

Saturn LS Lash Adjuster Parts Questions & Experts Answers

  • Q: How to remove the camshafts and Lash Adjuster in V6 engine on Saturn LS?
    A: To remove the camshafts, begin by disconnecting the cable from the negative battery terminal and setting the engine to 60-degrees before TDC. Take off the valve cover(s) and Timing Belt. Use a wrench on the hex drive of the camshaft to prevent it from turning while removing camshaft sprockets, making sure to mark their original positions. Pick off bearing caps from the cylinder head and take note of their original locations. Remove camshafts from cylinder head along with camshaft seals. Put each lash adjuster in numbered containers to prevent mixing them up. This process has to be repeated for rear cylinder head only camshafts. Check if there is wear and roundness on all cams and lash adjusters after removing them. Compare measurements after measuring outside diameter for each lash adjuster. Inspect wear or overheating on lobe of every camshaft. Check measurements after measuring lobe height for each cam lobe. Inspect these parts for wear or pitting:-Camshaft bearing journals-Cylinder head bearing surfaces Measure each journal's diameter, checking for excessive wear too; For this purpose, clean the bearing surfaces and install the Plastigage-carrying camshafts as well as bearing caps; To be sure about journal oil clearance, measure compressed strand-width; To tap towards and away from gauge let it measure endplay of a dial indicator checking in readings;. After inspection is done, position engine at 60-degrees before TDC again (engine should be rotated by hand). Lubricate cylinder head roller bores (with oil) as well as roller followers and leave them in their original bores once you're done with that operation (again). Put new oil seals on both ends of both cams., Apply anaerobic sealant between front caps' cylinder head; first caps must have anaerobic sealant applied between them., Use lubrication for camshaft installation on both the journals and lobes., Then, attach the camshaft bearing caps in their original positions, ensuring they are tightened down in the proper sequence. Finally, replace all remaining parts including timing belt and sprocket which will complete reassembly. Finally, connect the battery.
