• Q: How to Service and Repair a Lash Adjuster on 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser?

  A: Prior to servicing or repairing hydraulic lash adjusters, take away the intake manifold cover (1) and the upper intake manifold, since this method should be done while camshafts are installed. Lift out the cylinder head cover after that, remembering to label the hydraulic lash adjusters and rocker arms if they will be used again and leaving them installed in the same locations you found them in. The next step is to remove the rocker arm and then the hydraulic lash adjuster for every adjuster on the engine. Position the hydraulic lash adjuster again and be sure it is at least partly filled with engine oil which will make the plunger move only a little when the lifter is pressed. After that, put back the rocker arm and repeat this process for every hydraulic lash adjuster. After that, put the cylinder head cover, the upper intake manifold and the intake manifold cover (1) back on.
