• Q: How to replace the Lash Adjuster on 2000 Cadillac DeVille?

  A: Begin Lash Adjuster replacement by dismounting the targeted Camshaft while placing reused followers in their correct positions. The first procedure involves removing both Camshaft followers and stationary hydraulic lash adjusters from their bore locations. Thorough examination of all valve train components should be part of your inspection process. For the shla installation use clean engine oil gm p/n 12378006 or equivalent while also being careful to prevent damage to the pivot sphere area. The installation of new shla's into their bores requires using a generous gm p/n 12345001 or equivalent lubricant on both Camshaft follower pivot pockets and valve slot areas. The follower needs to rest perpendicularly on the valve tip so it fully touches the cam lobe. The original locations must welcome followers that are used again. Put each follower so the rounded surface faces the shla and the flat end faces the valve tip. Finally, install the camshafts.
