2000 Chevrolet Malibu Rocker Shaft Spring Kit Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the Rocker Shaft Spring Kit and replace the Valve Stem Oil Seal on 2000 Chevrolet Malibu?

  A: First, open your vehicle's negative Battery Cable so you can service and repair the valve guide seal as well as change the valve stem oil seal and valve spring. Take off the valve rocker covers, then take out the Spark Plug and the Rocker Arm. Put the j 22794 Spark Plug port adapter (J 22794) into the Spark Plug hole and use compressed air to hold the valves steady. To compress the valve spring, you can use the j 5892-d valve spring compressor (J 5892-D) or the j 38606 valve spring compressor (J 38606), and after that, measure the valve locks, the valve cap, and the valve spring. Take out the valve stem oil seal, then press the new one over the valve guide boss with the plastic sleeve. Put the valve spring, spring seat, and valve cap together, then squeeze the valve spring one more time using the prescribed compressor. Put the valve locks in place, grease them if you must, and let go of the valve spring to make certain the locks have seated properly. First, put the Spark Plug and Rocker Arm in place, and then install the valve rocker covers. When you have finished, connect the negative Battery Cable again.
