If the exhaust rocker requires adjustment, loosen the lock
nut on the rocker and adjust the plunger. Tighten the lock
nut on the plunger by holding the adjusting screw in place
and torque-tighten the lock nut to 38 ± 4 Nm (28 ± 3 ft-lb).

outward while the rocker arm is pushed down until it
makes contact with the valve stem.

Note:  Use a strong wire or a bent screwdriver to pull out

the spring.

Note:  Any oil film left inside the piston is released

when the piston loosens from the seat. This makes
the setting more exact.

T2009009 Note:  Make sure that the wire or the screwdriver have
been well cleaned before they are used. Impurities
between the rocker arm piston and the rocker arm can
lead to the piston seizing and the brake function on the
cylinder failing to work. Make sure that the piston’s sliding
surface in the rocker arm is not damaged.

Continue adjustment on the same cylinder location by
checking the exhaust rocker valve clearance. Push down
on the back of the exhaust rocker and insert a feeler
gauge of the proper specification of
0.6 ± 0.05 mm (0.024 ± 0.002 in.) for non-VCB or

Measure the clearance between the rocker arm’s piston
and the bridge. Acceptable clearance is 0.6 ± 0.05 mm
(0.024 ± 0.002 in.) for non-VCB or
2.3 ± 0.05 mm (0.091 ± 0.002 in.) for VCB.

If the valve clearance needs to be adjusted, loosen the
lock nut without moving the adjusting screw.
