AIR INLET AND EXHAUST SYSTEM TESTING AND ADJUSTING

VALVE CLEARANCE
NOTE: Valve clearance is measured between the
rocker arm and the valves. 3
VALVE CLEARANCE CHECK: ENGINE STOPPED

Exhaust .O22 to.O28 in (O.56 to O 7'1 mm)

I nta ke 012 to .018 in. {0.3O to 0.46 mm)

CYLINDER AND VALVE IDENTIFICATION

NOTE: When the valve lash (clearance) is checked,
adjustment is NOT NECESSARY if the measure-
ment is in the range given in the chart for VALVE
CLEARANCE CHECK: ENGINE STOPPED. If
the measurement is outside this range, adjustment is
necessary. See the chart for VALVE CLEARANCE
SETTING: ENGINE STOPPED, and make the set-
ting to the nominal (desired) specifications in this
chart.
J. Turn the flywheel 360o in the direction of en-
gine rotation. This will put No. 6 piston at top
center (TC) on the compression stroke.
4. Make an adjustment to the valve clearance on
the intake valve for cylinders 3, 5 and 6. Make an
adjustment to the valve clearance on the exhaust
valves for cylinders 2, 4 and 6.

5. After valve adjustment is correct, tighten the

nuts for the valve adjustment screws to 22 + 3
lb. ft. (28 + 4 N.m).
