    The document provides instructions for checking and adjusting valve lash on an industrial engine, including specifications and procedures.

    The steps to check valve lash are to measure it with the engine stopped and valves fully closed, and only adjust if out of specification. To adjust, the procedure is described.

    The specifications provided are 0.38 ± 0.08 mm for inlet valves and 0.64 ± 0.08 mm for exhaust valves.

    Engine Valve Lash - Inspect/Adjust


    SMCS - 1102-025

    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.

    This engine uses high voltage to control the fuel injectors.

    Disconnect electronic fuel injector enable circuit connector to prevent


    personal injury.

    Do not come in contact with the fuel injector terminals while the engine
    is running.

    Note: Valve lash is measured between the rocker arm and the valve bridge. 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.

    Prior to checking the valve lash, 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".

    Table 1

    Valve Lash Check (Stopped 0.38 ± 0.08 mm 0.64 ± 0.08 mm

    (1) 360° from TC compression stroke
    (2) The No. 1 cylinder is at the front of the engine.

    If the measurement is not within this range, an adjustment is necessary. Refer to "Valve Lash Adjustment" for the proper
    procedure.

    Use the following procedure to adjust the valve lash:

    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".

    Table 2

    (4) Adjustment locknut

    2. Adjust the valve lash according to Table 2.


    a. 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.

    b. Loosen the adjustment locknut.

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

    d. Tighten the adjustment locknut to a torque of 30 ± 7 N·m (22 ± 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.

    3. 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.

    4. Adjust the valve lash according to Table 3.

    a. 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.

    b. Loosen the adjustment locknut.

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

    d. Tighten the adjustment locknut to a torque of 30 ± 7 N·m (22 ± 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.

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