Valve Lash
Check the valve lash according to Testing And Adjusting, "Valve Lash and Valve Bridge Adjustment".
Insufficient Lubrication
Measure the cylinder compression. Refer to the engine's Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Cylinder
Pressure - Measure/Record".
Inspect the components of the valve train for good condition. Check for signs of damage and/or wear to
the valves, cylinder head gasket, etc. Inspect the condition of the camshafts. If a camshaft is replaced,
new valve lifters must be installed.
