• Q: How to replace the Lash Adjusters on 2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

  A: You must begin the replacement process by removing the Cylinder Head and Lash Adjuster guide bolts (211). Notice where the guides were originally positioned before removing the Lash Adjuster guides along with their lash adjusters. Use the Lash Adjuster remover tool (J3049-A) or an equivalent tool to remove gum or varnish-stuck lash adjusters. Organize the lash adjusters (209, 219) from the guide (210) before labeling their placement positions for reinstalling back to their original configuration. Install the lash adjusters in their specific original positions during reuse. The replacement of a damaged Camshaft will require the installation of new lash adjusters in addition to completing the required procedure. Two displacement on demand lash adjusters will be installed in each of the four assemblies while the remaining ones will use non-displacement on demand lash adjusters. Cylinders 1, 4, 6, and 7 will receive two displacement on demand lash adjusters. Clean engine oil should be used to lubricate the lash adjusters, engine block Lash Adjuster bores, and guide (210) assembly as installers guide the components by placing the top flat area of the non-displacement on demand Lash Adjuster's flat side into the appropriate Lash Adjuster guide hole while arranging displacement on demand lash adjusters with the guide's notch. Place lash adjusters in engine block guide bores while adding the Lash Adjuster guide bolts and torque them to 12 nm (106 inch lbs.). Finally, install the Cylinder Head.
