    SUBJECT: VALVE LASH ADJUSTMENTS

    PUBLICATION: DDC-SVC-MAN-0002
    Valve lash adjustments procedure was updated.

    11.1 VALVE LASH ADJUSTMENTS


    Accurate adjustment of clearance between intake and exhaust valves is important if maximum
    performance and economy are to be obtained.
    The valve lash on the DD15 engine must be measured and if necessary, adjusted at the initial period
    listed in Table 1.

    NOTE:
    Everytime the valve lash is adjusted the engine brake lash will also need to be set. Refer to section
    11.1.2 "Setting the Engine Brake Lash.".

    NOTE:
    Adjust the valve lash before setting the engine brake lash.

    NOTICE:
    Failure to measure valve clearances at the required initial period
    and make necessary adjustments may result in gradual degrading
    of engine performance and reduced fuel combustion efficiency.

    Initial Valve Lash and Measurement/Adjustment Period


    Adjust at 100,000 km (60,000 mi), at 300,000 km (180,000 mi), and then every 300,000 km (180,000 mi)

    Table 1 Measurement/Adjustment Period


    Adjust the valves as follows:
    1. Steam clean the engine.
    2. Disconnect the starting power for the engine.
    3. Remove the rocker cover.
    4. Bar the engine over until cylinder number one is at top dead center (TDC) compression stroke.
