REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
In some cases, the H-ring remover tool may not
position the collet far enough into the H-ring to
provide proper engagement for removal. If this
situation occurs, remove 0.375 inches (9.5 mm)
of the threads by grinding or cutting them down;
remove any burrs. This will allow the tool to be
positioned further into the lifter bore.
2. Inspect the cylinder block lifter bore and
place a new H-ring into the top of the bore. If
a new H-ring is a slip-fit in the bore, the bore
is oversize.
3. If the lifter bore appears OK (will support the
interference fit of the H-ring), clean the bore
and dislodged H-ring (or new H-ring, if
required) with Loctite
®
Primer T. Then apply
Loctite
®
RC/609 to the bore and to the
H-ring outside surface.
4. Use service tool J 41683 to install the H-ring.
This tool pilots into two lifter bores at the
same time to properly align and install the
H-ring. If the proper interference fit has been
maintained, resistance should be felt as the
H-ring is driven into the bore. Refer to
Figure 133 and Figure 134.
