Buick Century Lash Adjuster
The Lash Adjuster applies to Buick Century models; its working principle is to raise the valve closer to the camshaft, which ensures easy engine operation and reduces wear on the components, thus increasing the engine's service life. This is also called a tappet and it translates the rotation of the camshaft to a straight movement of the valves. Lash Adjusters employed in Buick Century models include the solid type, hydraulic type, and roller type. Some lifters are especially valued for their automatic control of clearance by means of oil pressure, and hydraulic lifters are, therefore, popularly employed. Straight tappets are gradually being replaced by the roller ones in the modern engine designs because of their lower friction and higher efficiency. The particular locations and kinds of valve lifter can differ depending on the layout of an engine, and show developments in automotive industry.
Each OEM Buick Century Lash Adjuster we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
Buick Century Lash Adjuster Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to keep lifters and pushrods in order during installation for Buick Century and Regal?A: Keep lifters and pushrods in order! This is absolutely necessary for installation, since these parts have differences which could result in engine damage if not installed in their original positions! Remove Intake Manifold, valve covers, Rocker Arm assemblies and pushrods. Remove the valve lifter guide retainer bolts, the retainer guides and valve lifters. Disassemble by removing the retainer ring with a small screwdriver, pushrod seat and oil metering valve, plunger and plunger spring, and check valve retainer from plunger, then remove valve and spring. After lifters are disassembled, all parts should be cleaned in clean solvent. A small particle of foreign material under the check valve will cause malfunctioning of the lifter. Close inspection should be made for nicks, burrs or scoring of parts. If either the roller body or plunger is defective, replace with a new lifter assembly. Whenever lifters are removed, check as follows: Roller should rotate freely, but without excessive play. Check for missing or broken needle bearings. Roller should be free of pits or roughness. If present, check Camshaft for similar condition. If pits or roughness are evident replace lifter and camshaft. Assemble by coating all lifter parts with a coating of clean kerosene or diesel fuel. Assemble the ball check, spring and retainer into the plunger. Install plunger spring over check retainer. Hold plunger with spring up and insert into lifter body. Hold plunger vertically to prevent cocking spring. Submerge the lifter in clean kerosene or diesel fuel. Install oil metering valve and pushrod seat into lifter and install retaining ring. Prime new lifters by working lifter plunger while submerged in clean kerosene or diesel fuel. Lifter could be damaged when starting engine if dry. When a rocker arm is loosened or removed, valve lifter bleed down is required. Lifters must be bled down as possible valve to piston interference due to the close tolerances could exist. Before installing a new or used lifter in the engine, lubricate the roller and bearings of the lifter with No. 1052365 lubricant or equivalent. Install lifters and pushrods into original position in cylinder block. Install manifold gaskets and manifold. Position rocker arms, pivots and bolts on Cylinder Head. Install valve covers. Install intake manifold assembly.
