2006 Chevrolet Avalanche 2500 Rocker Shaft Spring Kit Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the Rocker Shaft Spring Kit and valve stem oil seal on 2006 Chevrolet Avalanche 2500?

  A: The procedure begins with valve Rocker Arm and pushrod extraction followed by Piston position verification at the lowest point of movement before applying compressed air. Align the Crankshaft to achieve valve closure before taking the Spark Plug out from the cylinder. Use the Spark Plug port adapter (J 22794) in the Spark Plug hole before applying compressed air through the adapter to keep the valves from moving. Install the valve spring compressor (J 5892-D) to the cylinder head by tightening the valve Rocker Arm nut to maintain placement while pressing the valve spring cap to free the valve stem keys. Insert the valve spring compressor (J 5892-D) to compress the valve spring and safely extract valve stem keys without letting compressed air escape from the cylinder. Remove the valve spring compressor (J 5892-D) from the cylinder head while you also take off the valve spring cap and valve spring and then the Valve Stem Oil Seal . Assembly requires applying clean engine oil to the valve stem and valve guide seal's outside diameter along with rotator lubrication. Use the valve stem seal installer (J 43105) to install the Valve Stem Oil Seal by setting it over the valve tip then against the valve guide until full seating is achieved. First position the valve spring small end facing upward before adding the valve spring cap . Utilize the valve spring compressor (J 5892-D) to compress the valve spring and attach valve stem keys with a small amount of clean grease for stabilization. Remove the valve spring compressor (J 5892-D) from the valve assembly after releasing it and extract compressed air from the cylinder. To complete the engine assembly process, you must install the Spark Plug followed by the valve rocker arms and pushrods.
