2007 Chevrolet Impala Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What tools are required to service and repair the valve guide seal, replace the valve stem oil seal, and valve spring on 2007 Chevrolet Impala?

  A: The tasks need en-47823 (Valve Spring Compressor Adapter), j 22794 (Spark Plug Port Adapter), and j 5892-d (Valve Spring Compressor) to perform them successfully. Turn the engine to put the piston at top dead center before starting to avoid letting the valve drop into the cylinder. After removing the Spark Plug insert your tool to clean the recess space before valve removal. Attach the j 22794 tool into the Spark Plug port and blow compressed air to hold the valve steady before starting work. Using tools j 5892-d and en-47823 compress the valve spring and take out all parts including valve cap keys valve cap valve spring and valve guide seal. Apply engine oil to the valve stem and put on the right valve guide seal (intake uses black while exhaust uses brown), then place the valve spring and valve cap. After compressing the valve spring with the j 5892-d and en-47823 tools follow these steps: install the valve cap keys (with optional grease), ensure key placement, release the compressed air then remove the j 22794. Reattach the Rocker Arm and Spark Plug in place.
