The basis for the correct fuel injection timing and the valve mechanism operation is determined by the
alignment of the timing for the front gear group. Align timing marks (2) on camshaft idler gear (3) with
the holes on camshaft gear (1) and crankshaft gear (4). This alignment is required in order to provide
the correct relationship between the piston movement and the valve movement.

Valve Lash Setting For 3114, 3116, and 3126

Valves Dimension of Gauge

Inlet
0.38 ± 0.08 mm (0.015 ± 0.003 inch)

Exhaust
0.64 ± 0.08 mm (0.025 ± 0.003 inch)

The rotation of the crankshaft is viewed from the flywheel end.

Rotation Counterclockwise

Check and Adjust with No. 1 Piston On this Stroke. (1) Top Center Compression Stroke (2)

Injectors 3-4

Inlet Valves 1-2

Exhaust Valves 1-3

Check and Adjust with No. 1 Piston On this Stroke. Top Center Exhaust Stroke

Injectors 1-2

Inlet Valves 3-4

Exhaust Valves 2-4

Firing Order 1-3-4-2

(1) Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Finding Top Center Position for No. 1 Piston" for more information.
(2) Put No. 1 Piston at the top center position. After the top center position is found and the adjustments have been made
for the correct cylinders, remove the top center bolt. Turn the flywheel in a counterclockwise direction by 360 degrees.
This puts No. 1 Piston at the top center position on the other stroke. Install the top center bolt in the flywheel and
complete the adjustments for the cylinders that remain.

Note: Check the crankshaft position with the No. 1 piston at the top center position. Refer to Testing
and Adjusting, "Finding Top Center Position for No. 1 Piston" for more information.

Note: Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Engine Valve Lash - Inspect/Adjust" for more information in
order to adjust the valves.
