Keep lifters and pushrods in order! This is absolutely necessary for installation, since these parts have differences which could result in engine damage if not installed in their original positions! Remove intake manifold, valve covers, rocker arm assemblies and pushrods. Remove the valve lifter guide retainer bolts, the retainer guides and valve lifters. Disassemble by removing the retainer ring with a small screwdriver, pushrod seat and oil metering valve, plunger and plunger spring, and check valve retainer from plunger, then remove valve and spring. After lifters are disassembled, all parts should be cleaned in clean solvent. A small particle of foreign material under the check valve will cause malfunctioning of the lifter. Close inspection should be made for nicks, burrs or scoring of parts. If either the roller body or plunger is defective, replace with a new lifter assembly. Whenever lifters are removed, check as follows: Roller should rotate freely, but without excessive play. Check for missing or broken needle bearings. Roller should be free of pits or roughness. If present, check camshaft for similar condition. If pits or roughness are evident replace lifter and camshaft. Assemble by coating all lifter parts with a coating of clean kerosene or diesel fuel. Assemble the ball check, spring and retainer into the plunger. Install plunger spring over check retainer. Hold plunger with spring up and insert into lifter body. Hold plunger vertically to prevent cocking spring. Submerge the lifter in clean kerosene or diesel fuel. Install oil metering valve and pushrod seat into lifter and install retaining ring. Prime new lifters by working lifter plunger while submerged in clean kerosene or diesel fuel. Lifter could be damaged when starting engine if dry. When a rocker arm is loosened or removed, valve lifter bleed down is required. Lifters must be bled down as possible valve to piston interference due to the close tolerances could exist. Before installing a new or used lifter in the engine, lubricate the roller and bearings of the lifter with No. 1052365 lubricant or equivalent. Install lifters and pushrods into original position in cylinder block. Install manifold gaskets and manifold. Position rocker arms, pivots and bolts on cylinder head. Install valve covers. Install intake manifold assembly.

To remove the camshaft, start by removing the intake manifold, rocker arms, pushrods, timing chain, camshaft sprocket, and balance shaft drive gear. Also remove the fan, radiator, and condenser. Store the lash adjusters in a labeled box and remove the lifter retainer. Use a special tool, magnet, or your fingers to extract the lash adjusters from the bores. Remove the camshaft retainer plate and use three 6-inch long, 5/16-18 bolts as a handle to remove the camshaft from the block. During inspection, clean the lash adjuster and camshaft with solvent and check for wear and damage. Measure the journals and cam lobes for wear. If the camshaft and bearings are damaged, they will need to be replaced. For installation, lubricate the camshaft bearing journals and cam lobes with assembly lube and slide the camshaft into the engine. Install the camshaft thrust plate, balance shaft drive gear, timing chain, and sprockets. Lubricate the lash adjusters with clean engine oil and install them in the block. The remainder of installation is the reverse of removal. Finally, refill the cooling system, change the engine oil and filter, start the engine and check for leaks.

To remove the camshaft, start by disconnecting the cable from the negative battery terminal and relieving the fuel system pressure. Then, remove the radiator, auxiliary automatic transmission fluid cooler (if equipped), power steering cooler, air conditioning condenser, valve covers, intake manifold, rocker arms, pushrods, timing chain and sprockets, and cylinder heads. Before removing the lash adjusters, arrange to store them in a clearly labeled box. Remove the lash adjusters and camshaft retainer plate, and use a bolt as a handle to carefully pull out the camshaft. To inspect the camshaft, measure the lobe height and base circle to determine the lobe lift. Compare the results to the specifications and replace the camshaft if necessary. Inspect the camshaft bearing journals for wear and damage, and measure them with a micrometer. Check the camshaft lobes for discoloration, score marks, chipped areas, and uneven wear. Clean and inspect the lash adjusters for damage, wear, and proper function. Install the camshaft by lubricating the bearing journals and lobes with assembly lube, sliding it into the engine, and securing it with the camshaft thrust plate. Install the timing chain and sprockets, camshaft position sensor, and lash adjusters. Finally, refill the cooling system, change the oil, and install a new oil filter before starting and running the engine.

To check Lash Adjuster before removal, start by removing the valve covers and loosening the rocker arm nuts to pivot the rocker arms for access to the pushrods. Mount a dial indicator on the engine, positioning the plunger directly above the first pushrod. Ensure the engine's electrical connectors from the distributor are disconnected. Slowly turn the engine until the pushrod is at its lowest point (base circle of the camshaft lobe), then zero the dial indicator. Rotate the crankshaft in the normal direction until the indicator needle reaches its peak and begins moving in the opposite direction, marking maximum cam lobe lift. Record this measurement and repeat the check for all lobes, comparing the results. If cam lobe lift is 0.003 inches less than specified, cam lobe wear has occurred, necessitating a new camshaft installation. Also, remove the fan shrouds, fan, radiator, and condenser if applicable. Ensure proper labeling and storage of the lifters before removing them, and remove the lifter retainer. Take care not to attempt camshaft withdrawal with the lifters in place. Various methods can be used to extract the lifters from the bores. Afterward, remove the camshaft retainer plate by removing the two Torx bolts, taking note of the correct orientation. Thread three 6-inch long, 5/16-18 bolts into the camshaft sprocket bolt holes for handling when pulling the camshaft straight out, avoiding damage to the bearings. During inspection, visually examine the cam lobes and bearing journals for wear, scoring, pitting, galling, overheating evidence (discoloration), and flaking of the hardened surface. Measure the diameter of each camshaft journal and the lift of each camshaft lobe using a micrometer and compare the measurements with the specifications. If any journal diameter falls below the specified value, replace the camshaft. For camshaft bearing replacement, it's advisable to seek assistance from an automotive machine shop, as it involves specialized tools and expertise. For installation, lubricate the camshaft bearing journals and cam lobes with Lash Adjuster assembly lube, then carefully slide the camshaft into the engine while supporting it near the block to prevent damage to the bearings. Turn the camshaft until the dowel pin is at 3 o'clock and install the camshaft thrust plate, tightening the bolts. Install the balance shaft drive gear, aligning the dowel pin and ensuring proper alignment of the balance shaft timing marks. Proceed to install the timing chain and sprockets. Lubricate the lifters with clean engine oil and install them in the block, making sure to return them to their original locations if reusing the original lifters. If a new camshaft is installed, use new lifters as well. Finally, complete the remaining installation steps in reverse order, and before starting the engine, change the oil and install a new oil filter.

To remove the camshaft, you need to remove the front cover, timing chain, and sprockets. Unbolt and remove the oil pump drive and the camshaft thrust plate. Carefully pull the camshaft out of the block.

To determine the extent of cam lobe wear, check the lobe lift before removing the camshaft. Position the number one piston at TDC on the compression stroke. Loosen the rocker arm nuts and pivot the rocker arms sideways. Mount a dial indicator on the engine and position the plunger against the top of the first pushrod. Zero the dial indicator and slowly turn the crankshaft in the normal direction of rotation until the indicator needle stops and begins to move in the opposite direction. Record this figure and repeat the check for each valve. If the cam lobe lift is less than specified, install a new camshaft. Remove the camshaft and remove the intake manifold, rocker arms, pushrods, timing chain, and camshaft sprocket. Remove the balancer shaft drive and driven gears if applicable. Pull the camshaft out carefully, supporting it near the block. After removing the camshaft, inspect the bearing journals for wear and damage. Measure the bearing journals with a micrometer to check for excessive wear or out-of-round conditions. Check the camshaft lobes for discoloration, score marks, chipped areas, and uneven wear. Clean the lash adjusters and check for scuffing, score marks, and uneven wear. If the lash adjusters are worn or damaged, replace them along with the camshaft. For roller lash adjusters, check the rollers for wear and damage. Lubricate the camshaft bearing journals and lobes with moly-base grease or engine assembly lube. Slide the camshaft into the engine, being careful not to scrape or nick the bearings. Install the balancer shaft drive and driven gears if applicable. Install the timing chain and sprockets. Lubricate the lash adjusters with clean engine oil and install them in the block. Finally, change the oil and install a new oil filter before starting and running the engine.
