• Q: How to Address Issues with the Rocker Shaft Spring Kit on 2001 Buick Regal?

  A: Start work on the oil seal and valve spring replacement only when the engine reaches top dead center of the service cylinder. Start with a valve rocker cover from the right or left side to expose the components underneath. To proceed with the job take out the spark plugs that service the cylinders. Push the Spark Plug port adapter (J 23590) in its designated space on the Spark Plug while the installed air stream stops valve movement. Deepen the valve spring compressor j 38606 onto the valve spring unit to compress it. Remove the valve locks first and push down the spring compressor to unlatch the valve. Replace the valve spring and cap with the Valve Stem Oil Seal after. Check the valve spring for wear and decay. Replace the part if it shows any damage. Set the new oil seal in place on the valve stem until it reaches the valve guide surface. Push the Valve Stem Oil Seal over the valve guide with hand pressure and the valve stem seal installation tool (J 42863). Reinstall the valve spring compressor tool onto the valve spring and repeat compression. Then put in the valve spring and cap as well as the valve locks and ensure each one is fully contained. Unwind the valve spring then take off the Spark Plug port adapter (J 23590) to put back the Spark Plug(s) into the repaired cylinders. Conclusion your work by placing back the push rod and valve Rocker Arm and then fixing the right or left valve rocker cover.
