How to service and repair the Rocker Shaft Spring Kit and replace the Valve Stem Oil Seal on Buick Century?

Begin servicing by placing the Piston at top dead center to keep the valves above the cylinder during the job when the cylinder is open. The j22794 Spark Plug port adapter j22794 helps loosen the Spark Plug but you should clean debris from the Spark Plug hole before removing it while also avoiding hot engine temperatures. Place the j22794 onto the Spark Plug port and use compressed air to keep the valves steady. Put the j38606 valve spring compressor (J38606) onto the valve spring and squeeze it to take out valve locks, valve cap and valve spring with this tool installed. Check the valve spring health and switch it when defective. Also replace the spring seat and valve stem oil seal. Press the j22794 spring seat and oil seal onto the valve guide boss but insert it first using the spring installer. Put the valve spring and valve cap back in place then suppress the valve using j38606 before locking the valve with grease. Release the spring from the valve as you confirm that valve locks sit flat upon reinstallation of the Rocker Arm. End the process by relaxing air pressure and taking out the j22794 so you can add the Spark Plug.

How to service and repair the Rocker Shaft Spring Kit and replace the Valve Stem Oil Seal on Buick Regal?

You start servicing the valve guide seal and installing new valve stem oil seal and valve spring by first removing the valve Rocker Arm covers. You need to turn the engine to reach top dead center in the currently worked cylinder to make sure no valve drops in. First take out the Spark Plug then unmount both valve Rocker Arm and push rod. You should place the Spark Plug port adapter (J23590) in the Spark Plug hole and divert compressed air to maintain valve closure. Set the valve spring compressor (J38606) on the valve spring, activate it to compress the valve spring, and take out all parts including the valve locks, valve spring, cap, and valve stem oil seal. Check the valve spring for damage and purchase a replacement if it needs replacement. To mount the new oil seal gently push down the stem until it touches the valve guide without applying force on the tool. Use valve stem seal installation tool j42863 to push the valve stem oil seal over the valve guide. Set the valve spring compressor (J38606) back on the valve spring then push the tool down to compress it. Next install the new valve spring and cap before placing valve locks in position correctly. Drop the valve spring and take out the Spark Plug port adapter (J23590). Install the Spark Plug afterwards. Put back the valve Rocker Arm and push rod before putting the valve Rocker Arm cover(s) on top.
