(electric start models). See Figure 11-33. If the
engine originally had extra retainers on three
of the snap knobs, you were instructed to mark
those knobs during the disassembly procedure.
Install new retainers (Part No. 24 018 03-S) on
the opposite three knobs from where the original
retainers were located.

Install Hydraulic Lifters
Adjustable Valve Lash Confi guration Only
1. Bleed the hydraulic lifters of internal oil so the
plunger in the lifter can be depressed by hand.
Use an old cutoff push rod mounted in a drill
press, arbor press, or vice, and slowly apply
pressure
two or three times to bleed the lifters.
See Figure 11-34. If a vice is used in bleeding
the lifters, be sure to install protective coverings
over the jaws to avoid damage to the base of the
lifter(s).
Figure 11-34. Push Rod Tool.
NOTE: Another tool for bleeding may be made
from an old tappet and ball bearing
welded together. See Figure 11-35.
