REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS, PART 2
EXHAUST VALVE YOKE PIN
AND VALVE ROTATOR
INSPECTION AND
REPLACEMENT CRITERIA
(IN-CHASSIS)
On engines that have experienced a camshaft
failure, it is likely that excessive valve lash exists
at the locations where the cam lobe/lifter roller is
severely damaged or worn. Excessive valve lash
can cause damage to the exhaust valve yoke
guide pins and the valve rotators. To prevent a
repeat engine failure, integrity of the guide pins
and valve rotators must be determined, and
damaged rotators replaced. Procedures for
determining valve rotator integrity are as follows:
1. Inspect the oil pan magnetic drain plug for
very small pieces of broken-up coil springs.
These small pieces of spring coils are
approximately 0.0150
″
in diameter, and are
what remains of a rotator internal spring that
has broken apart.
2. Remove the rocker shafts and use a magnet
to search all accessible top surfaces of the
cylinder head for pieces of rotator springs.
Do not wash the top surfaces of the head. If any
pieces of rotator spring are washed down the
push rod hole, cam/lifter failure will result.
When the rotator internal spring breaks apart, it
will break into small pieces of coil. These small
pieces will remain inside the rotator for a period of
time, but will eventually migrate out of the rotator.
The greatest concentration of these small spring
coil pieces will be found in the valve spring seat
counterbore areas of the cylinder head. To find
these small pieces, it will be necessary to remove
the rotator and valve spring to check the spring
seat counterbore area.
3. Perform the following inspections to
determine the likely locations for damaged
valve rotators:
a.
Inspect and record the locations where
the cam lobes (both inlet and exhaust)
and the lifter rollers exhibit
moderate-to-severe wear/damage.
Rotate the engine to bring the piston to
top-dead-center at that location, then
remove the valve keys and carefully
remove the rotator and valve spring.
Use a magnet to search for and remove
pieces of the rotator spring coil.
b.
If the engine is equipped with a
J-Tech™ engine brake, measure the
exhaust yoke actuating pin adjusting
screw assemblies and record the
locations where any screw has an
overall height dimension of
0.945
″
(24.00 mm) or less.
c.
If the actuating pin adjusting screw
assemblies measure 0.945
″
(24.00 mm) or less, the valve yoke
guide pin at the location of this extreme
wear must be replace. Use dowel
extrator (tool No. PT 6575) to remove
the guide pins.
