• Q: How to replace the RH valve stem oil seal and Rocker Shaft Spring Kit on 2002 Cadillac Eldorado?

  A: Follow these instructions to replace the right Valve Stem Oil Seal and valve spring: get j 33320, j 39313 and j 43059 tools and their numbers, plus j 44211 and j 44214. First raise the vehicle and remove its right camshafts for proper setup. Unfasten both parts between the Oil Pan and transaxle case before taking off the torque converter cover. Fits the j 44214 into the desired position then positions the vehicle on the ground. Before removing the Spark Plug you should clean the area nearest to it to keep dirt out. Put the base plate of j 44211 into the Spark Plug hole on the serviced cylinder before taking out the Spark Plug. Direct the j 39313 tool into the Spark Plug opening and maintain firm air pressure to block the valve passage. Put the arm and swivel nut of the j 44211 assembly on the valve stud and fasten the swivel nut few turns for valve lock access. Pin the valve locks with a magnet and you can loosen the swivel nut. Move the arm aside to remove the valve spring retainer plus spring. Use the j 38820 if required to grasp and take off the old valve stem seal. When installing the new valve stem seal apply engine oil on its surfaces before using the j 38820 tool to put it in position. Put back the valve spring retainer and spring first. Place the arm over the retainer to tighten the swivel nut and prepare for valve lock work. Position the valve locks through the j 43059 tool while removing the swivel nut and arm section of j 44211. Repeat this process for all valves being serviced after releasing pressure and taking out the j 39313 from the Spark Plug hole. Place the Spark Plug in the base plate opening of the j 44211. Put together the remaining cylinders using this same procedure before putting back the right camshafts. After lifting the vehicle and deleting the j 44214 tool the torque converter cover must be put back into place. Once done install the Oil Pan to transaxle brace and tighten its bolts to 50 nm while lowering the vehicle.
