  Q: What tools are required to service and repair the valve guide seal, replace the valve stem oil seal, and valve spring on Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Classic?

  A: The Spark Plug port adapter (J 22794) and valve spring compressor (J 38606) are needed to do Valve Stem Oil Seal service and replace the Valve Stem Oil Seal and valve spring. First take off the Rocker Arm and unplug the Spark Plug wire at the Spark Plug by rotating each wire boot 1/2 turn before gently pulling to disconnect it. The temperature-stable engine allows you to weaken spark plugs by half or full turn when removing them. After cleaning with a brush or air nozzle, take the plugs out. Place the Spark Plug port adapter part j 22794 into the Spark Plug opening and connect an air hose. Use compressed air to keep the engine valves steady. The valve spring compressor device j 38606 compresses valve springs before you remove valve stem keys and release valve spring tension using the compressor. Reverse the process by taking out the valve spring cap then valve spring. After that remove the Valve Stem Oil Seal and shim. Apply engine oil to the valve areas and position the Valve Stem Oil Seal and shim in their places before installing the valve spring and spring cap. After applying grease to the valve keys position them in their grooves and use the valve spring compressor (J 38606) to compress the valve spring. Open the valve spring pressure and take the compressor out. Then strike gently the valve stem end with a plastic hammer to settle the keys if needed. Take the Spark Plug port adapter part number j 22794 from the Spark Plug opening. Start the Spark Plug by hand and fix it with 15 nm torque (11 ft. Lbs. Force). Rephrase these final steps to ensure correct results. Begin by fitting the Spark Plug Wires to the Ignition Coil then attach connections between the Spark Plug Wires and spark plugs. Verify wire placement and replace loose protective boots before placing the Rocker Arm back into position.
