    The document provides instructions for inspecting and adjusting engine valve lash. It describes checking valve lash and determining if adjustment is needed based on specified clearance ranges. If adjustment is required, it outlines the procedure to adjust valves to the specified settings, which involves using feeler gauges between the rocker arm and valve while turning an adjustment screw. The procedure is then repeated for the remaining valves after rotating the engine.

    2001/08/07 Engine Valve Lash - Inspect/Adjust (SENR3583)

    SMCS - 1102 i01582980

    To prevent possible injury, do not use the starter to turn the


    flywheel.

    Hot engine components can cause burns. Allow additional time


    for the engine to cool before measuring valve clearance.

    Note: Valve lash is measured between the rocker arm and the valve. All measurements
    and adjustments must be made with the engine stopped and the valves FULLY CLOSED.

    Valve Lash Check


    An adjustment is NOT NECESSARY if the measurement of the valve lash is in the
    acceptable range in Table 1.

    Valve Lash Check (Stopped Engine)


    Inlet 0.30 to 0.46 mm (0.012 to 0.018 inch)
    Exhaust 0.56 to 0.72 mm (0.022 to 0.028 inch)

    Table 1

    If the measurement is not within this range, an adjustment is necessary. Refer to 5 for the
    proper procedure.

    Valve Lash Adjustment


    Valve Lash Setting (Stopped Engine)
    Inlet 0.38 mm (0.015 inch)
    Exhaust 0.64 mm (0.025 inch)

    Use the following procedure to adjust the valve lash:

    Illustration 3 g00708315
    Valve Adjustment (Typical Example)
    (1) Valve
    (2) Rocker arm
    (3) Adjustment locknut
    (4) Adjustment screw

    1. Put the No. 1 piston at the top center position on the compression stroke. Refer to
    Testing and Adjusting, "Finding Top Center Position for No. 1 Piston".

    2. With the No. 1 piston at the top center position of the compression stroke, an
    adjustment can be made to the valves. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Gear Group
    (Front) - Time" for the information that is required in order to adjust the valves.
    Note: Before any actual adjustment is made, lightly tap the rocker arm at the top of
    the adjustment screw with a soft mallet. This will ensure that the lifter roller seats
    against the camshaft's base circle.

    3. Loosen adjustment locknut (3).

    4. If there is not enough clearance in order to insert the feeler gauge between rocker
    arm (2) and valve (1), turn adjustment screw (4) counterclockwise in order to
    increase the clearance.

    5. Place the appropriate feeler gauge between rocker arm (2) and the valve (1). Then,
    turn the adjustment screw in a clockwise direction. Slide the feeler gauge between
    the rocker arm and the valve. Continue turning the adjustment screw until a slight
    drag is felt on the feeler gauge. Remove the feeler gauge.

    6. Tighten adjustment locknut (3) to a torque of 25 ± 7 N·m (18± 5 lb ft). Do not allow
    the adjustment screw to turn while you are tightening the adjustment locknut.
    Recheck the valve lash after tightening the adjustment locknut.

    7. Remove the timing bolt and turn the flywheel by 360 degrees in the direction of
    engine rotation. This will put the No. 6 piston at the top center position on the
    compression stroke. Install the timing bolt in the flywheel.

    8. Adjust the valve lash on the remaining valves. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Gear
    Group (Front) - Time" for the information that is required in order to adjust the
    valves.

    9. Repeat Step 3 through Step 6 for these valve adjustments.

    10. Remove the timing bolt from the flywheel after all adjustments to the valve lash
    have been made. Reinstall the timing cover.

    Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Unit Injector - Adjust".
