  Q: How to replace the Rocker Shaft Spring Kit and valve stem oil seal on GMC Sierra 1500?

  A: Roader arm and free the Spark Plug wire at the Spark Plug by twisting the plug wire boot 1/2 turn and pulling only the boot. Remove the spark plugs from the Cylinder Head whenever the engine is not at room temperature by loosening them for one or two turn and then brush or air blast out any dirt or debris before pulling it out. Hook up the Air Hose to the Spark Plug component of the adapter (J22794), place the adapter into the Spark Plug hole while you inject compressed air into the adapter to secure the valve. Utilize the valve spring compressor (J38606) to compress the valve spring and pull out the valve stem keys and slow release the tension of the valve spring. Take out the valve spring (J38604), the valve spring cap (J38605), the Valve Stem Oil Seal, and the shim (1, 5) after removing the valve spring compressor (J38606). Clean the Cylinder Head valve spring seat or shim place, and lubricate the valve guide and Valve Stem Oil Seal applying clean engine oil, and install the Valve Stem Oil Seal and shim (1,5). Next, install the valve spring (and the valve spring cap), compress the spring with the valve spring compressor (J38606) so that you can instill the keys on the valve spring, place grease on them to keep them in place and ensure they snap in the groove of the valve stem. Gradually reduce the pressure on the valve spring and ensure that the valve keys remain in position and remove the valve spring compressor (J38606). Then, tap the end of the valve stem using a plastic faced hammer to seat the keys if it's needed. Drop the Spark Plug port adapter (J22794) from the Spark Plug port, hand rotating the Spark Plug, and tightening it to 15 nm (11 ft. Lbs.). At last, connect the Spark Plug wire to the Spark Plug and check the wires to ensure that they are properly installed by pushing on each boot sideways, then replace any loose boot, then install a Rocker Arm.
