  Q: How to service and repair the Rocker Shaft Spring Kit and Valve Stem Oil Seal on the right side on Cadillac XLR?

  A:

  To access the right valve stem oil seal and valve spring for service work start by uninstalling the right Camshafts and removing the Starter motor. Attach the en 46326 flywheel holder while preparing the Spark Plug area by cleaning the recess. Insert the j 39313 into the Spark Plug hole while keeping the valve closed by maintaining constant air pressure. Place the base plate of j 44211 into position over the Spark Plug hole. Put the j 44211 arm and swivel nut above the valve stud of the vehicle body before you tighten the swivel nut just enough to grab the valve locks. Specialize a magnet to take the valve stem locks off next loosen the swivel nut to pivot the arm away from the valve and disassemble the spring retainer and valve spring. Keep removing the valve stem seal for replacements only; use the j 38820 to hold and turn the old seal out. Load clean engine oil into the new valve stem seal before fitting it with a j 38820 tool. Lock the valve springs into place with the help of a magnet after setting the valve spring retainer and valve spring back in position while keeping the j 44211 swivel nut tightened. Lift air pressure from j 44211 head assembly and take off its swivel nut and arm before dismounting j 39313 and j 44211 base plate. Completing the process means installing the new Spark Plug first then repeating these steps for all other cylinders before reattaching right camshafts and taking out the en 46326 flywheel holder to place the Starter motor.
