• Q: How to Service and Repair Lash Adjusters on 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan?

  A: When servicing or repairing lash adjusters, first put engine oil into the adjuster chambers, with the hole pointing upwards. Before installing the lash adjusters, be certain that the lubrication hole faces the center of the block and they are put back in their original spots. Put the yokes in place and fasten the yoke retainer, applying 12 Nm (105 in. lbs.) of torque to the screws. After that, attach the cylinder heads to the engine. After you finish installation, run the engine at idle until it gets to its normal temperature. Until all the lash adjusters are filled and stop making noise, you should not let the engine run above fast idle or it could damage the valve system.
