A. Technician A B. Technician B C. Both Technician A and B D. Neither Technician A or B
15. Two technicians are discussing hydraulic lifter preload. Technician A says excessive preload will cause high manifold vacuum. Technician B says insufficient preload will cause excessive valve train noise. Who is correct?
A. Technician A B. Technician B C. Both Technician A and B D. Neither Technician A or B
16. Technician A says the valves in an interference engine open further into the combustion chamber that than those of a non- interference engine. Technician B says if the timing belt were to break in an interference engine due to a seized bearing or water pump, damage to the valves or pistons may occur. Who is correct?
A. Technician A B. Technician B C. Both Technician A and B D. Neither Technician A or B
