To replace the valve lifters, first, one should collect the tools: valve lifter remover (J 3049-A). Start by taking off the Intake Manifold and the pushrods while ensuring that the components are seated in a rack to ensure retention for reassembly. Next, unscrew the bolts and the lifter pushrod guide and position the valve lifters in rack upright so that the oil will remain inside. If there are any stuck valve lifters because of gum or varnish deposit in it, use valve lifter remover (J 3049-A) to remove them. Clean the valve lifter bores with a cleaning solvent and shop towel and check them for excessive wear or scoring which may require replacing the engine block. Also inspect the Camshaft for wear or damage removing the Camshaft for further inspection if needed. Replace the lifters as necessary. When re-installing new lifters, apply lubricant to the lifter rollers, and if using lifters for parts that they were used in initially, they were used in their original positions. Go on to install the lifters, then the lifter pushrod guides, ensuring the bolts are torqued to 16 n.m (12 lb ft), then install the pushrods and lastly the Intake Manifold. In new lifters, it is typical for engines to generate a little ticking sound when starting it for the first time; there should be some noise-lessening after slightly increasing the engine rpm to increase oil pressure.
