Chevrolet Caprice Lash Adjuster
The Lash Adjuster is a part of Chevrolet Caprice vehicles whose primary role is to lift the valve at a closer distance to the camshaft to enhance the performance of the vehicle's engine besides enhancing the durability of the engine through reduction of wear. This section is termed a tappet and is a valve that reciprocates the rotation of the camshaft. Lash Adjusters that Chevrolet caprice models have used include the, Solid Lifters, Hydraulically Lifters, and Roller Lifters. Among those hydraulic mechanisms, hydraulic Lash Adjusters are most preferred in auto industries mainly due to their self-adjustment feature of clearance through pressure of oil. Roller tappets are getting more conspicuous as they cause lower friction and are more efficient as compared to others. The position and kind of Lash Adjuster can differ according to the kind of the engine and may have been developed throughout the years of production of the automobile model Caprice highlighting the modern developments incorporated in automotive engineering.

Chevrolet Caprice Lash Adjuster Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How can you diagnose and remove noisy hydraulic valve lifters in V8 engine on Chevrolet Caprice?A: Hydraulic lash adjusters are generally reliable and do not need frequent adjustments. A noisy adjuster can be diagnosed while the engine is idling by placing a hose or tubing near each intake and exhaust valve and listening at the other end, or by removing the rocker cover and feeling for shock at the valve spring retainers. If adjustment is correct, noise is often caused by dirt trapped between the plunger and adjuster body. To remove the adjusters, take off the intake manifold and pushrod cover, then remove the valve cover and lift each pushrod out. A special tool can be used to pull the adjusters from their bores, or a sharp scribe can be employed to push them upwards, avoiding pliers on the adjuster body. A stuck adjuster may be freed with carburetor cleaner. Keep adjusters separated and identified for reinstallation. After cleaning each adjuster, inspect for any damage, as nicks or scratches warrant replacement. Check the bottom of the adjuster for wear; a concave condition indicates it should be replaced. When installing adjusters, ensure they are coated with "Molykote" or a similar product, and if original adjusters are reused, they must go back into their original bores. Finally, reinstall the valve components, valve cover, and intake manifold.
