NOTICE
DO NOT crank the engine for more than 30 seconds at a time to prevent damage to the starter motor. (J): Engine oil is injecting out from the top of the HLAs.

10.

If engine oil is confirmed to be injecting out of all HLAs, then it is NORMAL and HLA replacement is not required. Complete the inspection procedure by reinstalling all removed components in reverse order of removal. If engine oil is not injecting out of all HLAs, then replace ALL (16 in total) HLAs with new ones following the replacement procedure in the next page.
