ROCKER ARM PISTON OPERATION CHECK


1.Remove the rocker cover (Refer to ).
2.Remove the oil feeder control valve and the taper plug (Refer to ).
3.Remove the adhesive attached on the taper plug thread and the thread hole.


4.Rotate the crankshaft clockwise to align the timing marks of the camshaft sprockets with the portion shown in the illustration. This brings the No.1 cylinder to the compression top dead centre. At that time, the operation of the rocker arm piston with the arrow shown in the illustration can be checked.
5.Apply engine oil to all the inner circumferences of the oil feeder control valve installation hole of the cylinder head.


6.Insert special tool sealing bar (MB992282), into the installation hole of the oil feeder control valve so that it can reach the back of the installation hole. Block the oil passage hole for the rocker arm piston operation.
7.Blow the compressed air to the installation hole of the taper plug, using the air blow gun. At that time, confirm the rocker arm piston is operated.
note To fully confirm the check, prevent the compression air from leaking as much as possible by bind vinyl tape to the end of air blowgun. The compression air pressure is required more than 500 kPa.
8.Turn the crankshaft 360° clockwise to bring No. 4 cylinder to the top dead centre position.

9.Confirm the rest of the rocker arm piston (at the portion marked with the arrow), in accordance with the procedure in step 7.
10.When the rocker arm piston does not operate, replace the rocker arm and shaft assembly (Refer to ).
11.Install the oil feeder control valve and the taper plug (Refer to ).
12.Install the rocker cover (Refer to ).
