Adjust Overhead ISX.

Read the entire procedure for overhead adjustment before attempting to

perform this operation.

Valves, injectors, and engine brakes (if equipped) must be correctly adjusted for
the engine to operate efficiently. Valve, injector, and engine brake adjustment
must be performed using the values listed in this section.
After an engine rebuild or any major repair where the injector and valve setting
must be disturbed, set all of the valves, injectors, and brakes.

Valve, Brake, and Injector Adjustment Values

Injector Adjustment is 8 N•m [70 in-lb]
Intake Valve
0.35 mm [0.014 in]
Exhaust Valve
0.68 mm [0.027 in]
Engine Brake
7.00 mm [0.276 in]

Early engine vibration dampers are marked with BRAKE SET 1-6, BRAKE
SET 2-5, or BRAKE SET 3-4. The engine brakes must be set at the appropriate
mark on these engines. Newer engine vibration dampers are marked with only A,
B, or C, and are adjusted with the valves and injector on the same cylinder.

Locate the valve set marks on the outside of the vibration damper.
The set marks are A, B, and C:
Set to mark A to adjust cylinder 1 or 6.
Set to mark B to adjust cylinder 2 or 5.
Set to mark C to adjust cylinder 3 or 4.
Two complete revolutions are required to set all valves, engine brakes, and
injectors.
If the engine is equipped with an air compressor: Remove the oil fill connector
from the lower gear case cover. Insert a 3/4-inch drive ratchet and extension into
the air compressor drive. Rotate the air compressor drive clockwise, as viewed
from the front of the engine.
WARNING 
Do not pull or pry on the fan to manually rotate the engine. To do so can damage
the fan blades. Damaged fan blades can cause premature fan failures which can
result in serious personal injury or property damage.

The crankshaft rotation is clockwise as viewed from the front of the engine.
The cylinders are numbered from the front of the engine (1-2-3-4-5-6).
The engine firing order is 1-5-3-6-2-4.
If the engine is not equipped with an air compressor: Loosen the capscrews and
rotate the cover or remove the oil fill tube, if equipped. Use a 1½ inch socket to
push the barring gear into the gear mesh and rotate the barring adapter
counterclockwise to bar the engine. Rock the barring device back and forth until
it disengages.

Each cylinder has four rocker levers:

     •     The exhaust valve rocker lever (1)
     •     The injector rocker lever (2)
     •     The intake valve rocker lever (3)
     •     The engine brake rocker lever (4).

The intake valve rocker lever is always the long lever on the valve rocker lever
shaft.

Early engine vibration dampers are marked with

BRAKE SET 1-6,
BRAKE SET 2-5, or
BRAKE SET 3-4.
The engine brakes must be set at the appropriate mark on these engines. Newer
engine vibration dampers are marked with only A, B, or C, and are adjusted
with the valves and injector on the same cylinder.
The valves, brakes, and injectors on the same cylinder are adjusted at the same
index mark on the vibration damper.

NOTE:  It is not necessary to start with position A, as long as the proper

sequence is followed.

Use the compressor drive or barring device to bar the engine over in the
direction of engine rotation, clockwise as viewed from the front of the engine.
Align the A mark on the vibration damper with the pointer on the gear cover.
Check the valve rocker levers on the given cylinder to see if both intake and
exhaust valves are closed.
Both sets of valves are closed when the rocker levers and the brake lever are
loose. If both sets of valves are not closed, rotate the compressor drive gear one
complete revolution, and align the A mark on the front damper with the pointer
again.
Loosen the injector adjusting screw locknut on the cylinder.
Do not use a click-type torque wrench.
Use a dial-type torque wrench with a range of 0 to 150 in-lb to tighten the
injector rocker lever adjusting screw. If the screw chatters during setting, repair
the screw and lever as required.
Back out the adjusting screw one or two turns.
Hold the torque wrench in a position that allows you to look in a direct line at the
dial. This is to make sure the dial will be read accurately.
Make sure the parts are aligned, and squeeze the oil out of the valve and injector
train by tightening the adjusting screw.
Use this initial adjustment to preload the valve train and injector.
Tighten the injector lever adjusting screw.
Torque Value:
8 n.m
[71 inlb]

Back the adjusting lever screw out 1 or 2 turns.

Tighten the injector lever adjusting screw.
Torque Value:
8 n.m
[71 inlb]

Hold the injector lever adjusting screw and tighten the adjusting screw locknut.
Torque Value:
75 n.m
[55 ft-lb ]

After setting the injector on a cylinder, set the valves and engine brakes on the
same cylinder.
Early engine vibration dampers are marked with
BRAKE SET 1-6,
BRAKE SET 2-5, or
BRAKE SET 3-4.
The engine brakes must be set at the appropriate mark on these engines. Newer
engine vibration dampers are marked with only A, B, or C, and are adjusted
with the valve and injector on the same cylinder.
With the set mark aligned with the pointer on the gear cover and both sets of
valves closed on the cylinder, loosen the locknuts on the intake and exhaust valve
adjusting screws.
Back out the adjusting screws one or two turns.
Select a feeler gauge for the correct valve lash specification.
Valve Lash Specification

    ;                       mm                            in
Intake             0.36          NOM      0.014
Exhaust          0.69          NOM      0.027
Insert the feeler gauge between the top of the crosshead and the rocker lever nose
pad.
Make sure the feeler gauge is completely under the pivoting rocker lever nose
pad.
Tighten the adjusting screw.
Torque Value:
0.6 n.m
[5 inlb]

Use a torque wrench and crows foot adapter to tighten the locknut.
Hold the adjusting screw in this position. The adjusting screw must not turn
when the locknut is tightened.
Torque Value:
45 n.m
[33 ftlb]

After tightening the locknut to the correct torque value, remove the feeler gauge.

 CAUTION 
To get maximum brake operating efficiency and to prevent engine damage, the
brake adjustment instructions must be followed.

For older engines, locate the engine brake set marks on the outside of the
vibration damper.
The set marks are BRAKE SET 1-6, and BRAKE SET 2-5, and BRAKE SET 3-
4.

BRAKE SET 1-6: Cylinder 1 or 6 adjust

BRAKE SET 2-5: Cylinder 2 or 5 adjust
BRAKE SET 3-4: Cylinder 3 or 4 adjust

Use the compressor drive or barring device to bar the engine over in the
direction of rotation, clockwise as viewed from the front of the engine. Align the
A mark on the vibration damper with the pointer on the gear cover.

It is not necessary to start with position A, as long as the proper sequence is

followed.
Check the valve rocker levers on the given cylinder to see if both intake and
exhaust valves are closed.
Both sets of valves are closed when the rocker levers and the brake lever are
loose. If both sets of valves are not closed, rotate the compressor drive gear one
complete revolution, and align the A mark on the front damper with the pointer
again.
Press the engine brake lever down to verify the camshaft follower is in contact
with the camshaft.
Loosen the locknut on the brake lever adjusting screw, and back out the
adjusting screw one turn.
Insert the feeler gauge, Part Number XXXXXXX, between the bottom of the
engine brake piston and the top of the exhaust valve pin on the exhaust valve
crosshead.

Brake Lever Lash Specification

mm                        in
7.00     NOM     0.276

Tighten the adjusting screw until drag on the feeler gauge is felt. Proper drag
means that there is no motion of the brake lever camshaft follower against the
cam lobe.
Hold the engine brake lever adjusting screw and tighten the locknut.
Torque Value:
20 n.m [177 in-lb ]

Remove the feeler gauge.

 CAUTION 
Engine damage can occur if the running clearance is not within specifications.

Check the running clearance:

     1.     Rotate the engine brake rocker lever to the detente (neutral) position.
     2.     Check the clearance (1) between the engine brake lever actuator piston
and the crosshead guide pin.
Engine Brake Rocker Lever Running Clearance

mm                      in
0.635    MIN    0.025
2.790    MAX   0.110

If the running clearance does not meet specification, loosen, but do not remove
the rocker shaft capscrews, and rotate the shaft in the direction required to bring
the running clearance within the listed specification. It is critical that this
clearance be set and verified on all six brake levers. Engine damage can result if
this task is not completed.
Check the brake running clearance.
The rocker lever shafts must be adjusted so that all three engine brake levers fall
within the given running clearance specification.

Repeat the process to adjust all injectors, engine brakes, and valves according to
the chart shown below.
