When using the valve lifters again, install the lifters to their original locations.
If camshaft replacement is required, the valve lifters must also be replaced.
Each of the 4 valve guide assemblies will contain 2 active fuel management valve lifters and 2 non-
active fuel management valve lifters.
With the lifters and guides properly installed, cylinders 1, 4, 6, and 7 lifter bores will each contain 2
active fuel management valve lifters.

1. Lubricate the valve lifters (209, 219) and engine block valve lifter bores with clean engine oil.

2. Insert the valve lifters into the lifter guides.


Align the flat area (3) on the top of the non-active fuel management lifter with the flat area in the
lifter guide bore. Push the lifter completely into the guide bore.
The active fuel management lifters (4) are to be installed into the guide, with the notch in the guide
(1) aligned with the raised area (2) of the lifter.

3. Install the valve lifters and guide assembly (210) to the engine block.

Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice.

4. Install the valve lifter guide bolts (211).

Noises described coming from the engine may occur consistently or it may occur intermittently:

If a noise is verified, it will not be eliminated by canceling fuel injectors and the noise will occur
at camshaft speed (half of crankshaft speed).

[Link] Page 5 of 11
5/26/24, 11:45 PM

Information The noise may be described as a chirp, squeak, squeal or tick noise and may increase off of idle.

In either case, the cause of this concern may not be isolated after following SI diagnosis.

This Bulletin is written for technicians who experience this concern and follow SI diagnosis
without isolating the cause of this concern.

Recommendation/Instructions

If SI diagnosis does not isolate the cause of this concern, it may be the result of any of the following:

Worn camshaft lobe and/or lifter roller


A sticking valve
Valve leakage
A broken valve spring
A collapsed AFM (Active Fuel Management) lifter

If SI diagnosis does not isolate the cause of this concern, review the information below, determine which
description best matches the vehicle you are working on, and perform the suggestions as necessary, starting
with the easiest ones first:

1. Worn Cam Lobe and/or Lifter Roller:

Generally, a worn cam lobe on this engine family will create a consistent chirp, squeak, squeal or tick noise at
camshaft speed and/or a misfire with a P0300-P0308 DTC. The misfire may or may not be felt and the misfire
could occur at all RPM or just a specific RPM, such as idle only or only at high RPM. If a noise is present, it will
not be eliminated by cancelling fuel injectors and generally, the static compression and cylinder leakage will be
similar on all cylinders.

The following suggestions may help determine if a worn cam lobe and/or lifter is causing this concern:

1. Use a wooden hammer handle to apply pressure to the following locations of the rocker arms during the
noise to determine which one is making noise:
Valve side
Push rod side
Side of the rocker
X If the noise is changed by applying pressure to the valve side of the rocker, this is most likely the
result of a lifter and/or cam lobe concern on that cylinder. Sometimes this works, sometimes it does
not - it seems to depend on the amount of cam lobe wear.
2. Disconnect the coils and injectors on one bank of the engine, run the engine with the related valve cover
removed, and back off the related rocker arm a couple of turns and listen for a change in the noise. If
necessary, both rockers and push rods can also be removed one cylinder at a time with the related coil
and injectors disconnected.
X If the noise is eliminated and there is no problem found with the valve spring, push rod, or rocker
arm, this is most likely the result of a worn lifter roller and/or cam lobe.
3. Measure the cam lobe lift at the push rod side of the rocker arm. The lift in this location will differ from
the SI specification but it should be similar as compared with other rockers on the same bank. The
misfiring/ticking cylinder should obviously have less lift than the comparison cylinders if this is the result
of a worn lifter roller and/or cam lobe. Another possibility of no/low lift on cylinders 1, 4, 6, or 7 on an
AFM engine would be a collapsed AFM lifter.
X If a collapsed AFM lifter is found, refer to the latest version of PIP4568 for additional information.

Note:The step below will NOT work on 2017 and 2018 models.

4. On engines with AFM, you can command AFM on with the scan tool, which will unlatch the lifters on
cylinders 1, 4, 6, and 7 and stop opening the related valves.
If the noise is eliminated, there is a good chance that the noise is coming from the valve-train of
cylinders 1, 4, 6, or 7.
If there is no problem found with the push rods, rockers, or valve springs, the noise is most likely

[Link] Page 6 of 11
5/26/24, 11:45 PM

coming from a worn lifter roller and/or cam lobe on cylinders 1, 4, 6, or 7.


5. If the tests above do not isolate the cause of this concern, it may be necessary to visually inspect the
lifter rollers and cam lobes for the following conditions:
Visual damage
Flat spots
Pits
Grooves
Scoring
Gouging
Flaking
Rusting
X It is very easy to overlook a damaged cam lobe when inspecting them through the lifter bores and
just because the lifter rollers are not worn, does not mean that the related cam lobes are okay. Both
pieces need to be carefully inspected. It may help to use a bore scope or pen light when inspecting
the cam lobes through the lifter bores. In some cases, the worn cam lobe may not be discovered
until the camshaft is physically removed from the engine and inspected for the issues mentioned
above.

Notice:Follow SI procedures to replace the camshaft and all lifters if a worn camshaft lobe or lifter roller is
found. Also replace the plastic lifter guide for the lifter that had the damaged cam lobe and/or lifter roller (For
2010 Model Year, replace all the plastic lifter guides). On AFM engines, also replace the VLOM (Valve Lifter Oil
Manifold) filter screen that is under the oil pressure sensor.

2. Sticking Valve:

Generally, a sticking valve on this engine family will cause an engine misfire that may or may not be felt and it
may occur consistently or intermittently. It is unlikely that any engine noise will be present. It may be
temperature sensitive and it may be more apparent during certain operating conditions, such as driving up a
grade, cresting a hill, or during hard acceleration. A good indicator of a sticking valve is if engine misfires
continue to count on an aggressive deceleration with engine braking. If the misfire occurs consistently, a static
compression test, running compression test or cylinder leakage test may isolate the sticking valve. However, it
is unlikely that any of these tests will isolate the sticking valve if the misfire only occurs while driving at
specific conditions.

The following suggestions may help determine if a sticking valve is causing this concern:

Note:Follow SI procedures to remove the valve springs and seals from the valves of the misfiring cylinder.
Before removing the air pressure from the cylinder, tightly wrap a rubber band or tie strap around the tip of
each valve stem to prevent the valves from dropping into the cylinder. Release the air pressure from the
cylinder and work the valve up and down in the guide while turning the valve 360 degrees.

If any binding is felt, a stem to guide clearance concern exists and should be repaired by following SI
procedures.
If okay, rotate and snap the valve onto the valve seat to make sure that it easily comes off of the seat
again. If you have to use force to tap the valve off of the seat, excessive carbon build up exists, which may
be repaired by decarbonizing the engine.

Notice: Refer to the latest version of Service Bulletin 16–NA-383 for decarbonizing instructions.

3. Valve Leakage:

Generally, valve leakage on this engine family will cause a consistent engine misfire that may or may not be
felt and is more apparent at idle or low RPM. Normally, no engine noise will be present and in most cases, a
static compression test or running compression test will not reveal anything abnormal unless the leakage is
very high.

Typically, the Cylinder Leakage Test outlined in SI should isolate valve leakage by finding excessive leakage

[Link] Page 7 of 11
5/26/24, 11:45 PM

past an intake or exhaust valve, as compared with others.

Notice:If a valve sealing concern is found, it should be repaired by following SI repair procedures.

4. Broken Valve Spring:

Generally, a broken valve spring on this engine family will cause a tick noise and/or an engine misfire. In either
case, the concern may occur consistently or intermittently. If it is causing an engine misfire, it may or may not
be felt and it may only occur at specific operating conditions, such as high RPM driving, etc.

In some instances, a static compression test, running compression test, and/or cylinder leakage test may
isolate the broken valve spring, while in other instances; it may not if the spring remains stacked together
during the tests. As a result, it may be necessary to visually inspect the valve springs by closely examining
them. Sometimes, the two broken pieces of the spring will remain stacked together making it hard to detect
when visually inspecting them. As a result, it may help to lightly push on different places on the springs with a
small hammer handle.

Notice:If a broken valve spring is found, replace the broken valve spring as necessary.

5. Collapsed AFM Lifter (Engines with AFM Only):

Some customers may comment on a MIL illuminated, engine misfire, and/or tick noise. This may be the result
of an AFM lifter that unlocks as soon as the engine is started or one that is mechanically collapsed/stuck.

If an AFM lifter unlocks as soon as the engine is started, a MIL and DTC P0300 will be experienced with
engine misfires on cylinder 1, 4, 6, or 7 but it is unlikely that any noise will be experienced.
If an AFM lifter is mechanically collapsed/stuck, a consistent valve train tick noise, SES light, and DTC
P0300 will be experienced with engine misfires on cylinder 1, 4, 6, or 7.

Notice:If either of these AFM lifter concerns is suspected, please refer to the latest version of PIP4568 for
additional information.

Notice:If there is an AFM lifter concern on RPOs L83, L86, LT1 and LT4, follow the latest version of Service
Bulletin 15-06-01-002.

This PI was superseded to update Model years. Please discard PIP4568R.

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

Condition/Concern

Some customers may comment on an SES light, engine misfire on cylinder 1, 4, 6, or 7 and/or tick noise.

This may be the result of an AFM lifter that unlocks as soon as the engine is started or one that is mechanically
collapsed/stuck all of the time.

If an AFM lifter unlocks as soon as the engine is started, low compression will be found on that cylinder during
an AFM compression test, along with a SES light, DTC P0300, and engine misfires on the related cylinder but it
is unlikely that any noise will be experienced.

If an AFM lifter is mechanically collapsed/stuck, low compression will be found on that cylinder during an AFM
compression test, along with a consistent valve train tick noise, SES light, DTC P0300 and engine misfires on
the related cylinder.

These lifter concerns may be the result of internal locking pin damage, which may occur if the response time of
an AFM lifter unlocking event is decreased due to low oil pressure, oil aeration, internal engine sludge, or an
internal concern with an AFM lifter, VLOM, plastic lifter guide, lifter bore, and/or cam lobe wear.

[Link] Page 9 of 11
5/26/24, 11:45 PM

Recommendation/Instructions

If SI diagnosis does not isolate the cause of this concern, perform the following diagnostic steps as necessary:

1. Perform a Cylinder Deactivation (Active Fuel Management) System Compression Test in SI. If the running
compression of the misfiring cylinder stays below 25 PSI regardless of the AFM solenoid being
commanded on or off, an AFM lifter is mechanically collapsed/stuck or unlocking as soon as the engine is
started.
2. Perform the Cylinder Deactivation (Active Fuel Management) Valve Lifter Oil Manifold Diagnosis and
Testing in SI. If the test above isolated a possible AFM lifter concern, it will lead to this test, which tests
the VLOM (Valve Lifter Oil Manifold) for proper operation. SI states a limited amount of air will leak from
the bleed holes and outlet ports even when the solenoids are off, compare the amount of leakage to
verify all 4 solenoids are operating the same. If it isolates a concern with the VLOM, replace it and
reevaluate the concern.
3. The AFM lifters can also be monitored for proper operation by carefully inspecting the cylinder 1, 4, 6, and
7 rockers and valves while cranking or briefly and safely running the engine with the valve covers
removed in the service bay. If the valve(s) of an AFM cylinder stop moving while doing this test, the AFM
lifter is causing the concern.

Notice:If SI diagnosis or any of the steps above indicate that any AFM lifters are unlocking or collapsed as
described above, follow the applicable notes below and replace the VLOM, all AFM lifters, and all plastic lifter
guides.

Reprogram the ECM with the latest calibrations if you are working on a 2008-2009 Full Size Truck/SUV or
a 2007-2009 Chevrolet Tahoe with the Police Package.
On the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8, 2010-2011 Camaro, and 2007-2010 Full Size Trucks with AFM, also
determine if the AFM pressure relief valve shield that is listed in the latest version of 10-06-01-008 has
ever been installed for anything else. If not, remove the oil pan and install the AFM shield. If the shield has
been installed before, disregard this step. On Passenger Cars with the LS4 engine, determine if the
updated oil pan gasket that is listed in the latest version of 11-06-01-007 has ever been installed. If not,
remove the oil pan and install this updated oil pan gasket. It is also important to thoroughly clean the
inside of the oil pan while it is removed. Due to oil pan differences, this shield and gasket will not fit Mid-
Size Utility Vehicles with the LH6 Engine.
Carefully inspect the camshaft lobes through the lifter bores with a pen light or bore scope to ensure that
they are not obviously worn. It is suggested to rotate the crankshaft and camshaft so the entire
circumference of all cam lobes can be inspected. Also inspect the lifter bores for any obvious
scoring/damage that could be a concern.
When reassembling, ensure that the lifters are properly aligned to the new plastic lifter guides before
they are installed. If they are not aligned properly, it may damage the plastic lifter guide once it is torqued,
which may allow the lifter to turn in the guide.
Clean out the related lifter control oil passages (item 1 below) while the old lifters are removed.
Generally, it is only necessary to blow through the passages with shop air but if a lot of debris is noted, it
may also be necessary to flush the passages out with brake cleaner. The oil should be changed after doing
this since the cylinder heads will be off to replace the lifters anyhow.
Low oil pressure to the VLOM can also cause AFM lifter damage. As a result, it is suggested to note the
Tech 2 oil pressure parameter at a hot idle. This is located in the Cylinder Deactivation Data List of the Tech
2. Generally most known good vehicles will have around 25 PSI (172 KPA) or greater oil pressure at a hot
idle with new engine oil. As long as there are no oil pressure sensor DTCs, such as a P0522 or P0523, the
oil pressure sensor is fairly accurate. If the sensor reads 19 PSI (131 KPA) or less while at a hot idle with
new oil, also perform the Cylinder Deactivation (Active Fuel Management) Oil Pressure Relief Valve
Diagnosis and Testing as outlined in SI and repair as necessary. In some cases, the new VLOM could
correct a low oil pressure concern if there is an internal leak or plugged VLOM filter screen.

5/26/24, 11:45 PM

If all the previous steps have been done and there is a Repeat AFM Lifter Concern, replace the oil pump (to
correct for a possible aeration of the oil) and the lifters for the cylinder with the Tick Noise and/or Misfires
concern.
