    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. Check
    the valve lash while the engine is stopped. The range is specified in Table 1.

    Table 1

    Refer to Illustration 1 in order to locate the No. 1 cylinder.

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

    Adjust the valve lash while the engine is stopped. Use the following procedure in order to adjust the
    valves:

    1. Put the No. 1 piston at the top center position.

    Note: See Testing and Adjusting, "Finding Top Center Position for the No. 1 Piston" for further
    details.

    2. With No. 1 piston at the top center position of the compression stroke, an adjustment can be
    made to the valves.

    Before any adjustments are made, lightly tap each rocker arm at the top of the adjustment
    screw. Use a soft mallet to ensure that the lifter roller seats against the base circle of the
    camshaft.

    3. Adjust the valve lash on the inlet valves for cylinders 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, and 10.

    a. Loosen valve adjustment locknut (6).

    b. Place the appropriate feeler gauge between the inlet rocker arm (4) and the inlet valve
    bridge (7). Turn inlet adjustment screw (5) while valve adjustment locknut (6) is being
    held from turning. Adjust the valve lash until the correct specification is achieved. Refer
    to Table 2.

    c. After each adjustment, tighten valve adjustment locknut (6) while valve adjustment screw
    (5) is being held from turning. Tighten to a torque of 30 ± 7 N·m (22 ± 5 lb ft). Recheck
    each adjustment.

    4. Adjust the valve lash on the exhaust valves for cylinders 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, and 10.

    a. Loosen valve adjustment locknut (1).

    b. Place the appropriate feeler gauge between the exhaust rocker arm (3) and the exhaust
    valve bridge (8). Turn exhaust adjustment screw (2) while valve adjustment locknut (1) is
    being held from turning. Adjust the valve lash until the correct specification is achieved.
    Refer to Table 2.

    c. After each adjustment, tighten valve adjustment locknut (1) while valve adjustment screw
    (2) is being held from turning. Tighten to a torque of 30 ± 7 N·m (22 ± 5 lb ft). Recheck
    each adjustment.

    5. Remove the timing bolt, and turn the flywheel by 360 degrees in the direction of engine
    rotation. This procedure will position the No. 11 piston at the top center at the beginning of the
    compression stroke. Install the timing bolt in the flywheel.

    6. Adjust the valve lash on the inlet valves for the following cylinders 4, 5, 6, 9, 11, and 12.

    a. Loosen valve adjustment locknut (6).

    b. Place the appropriate feeler gauge between the inlet rocker arm (4) and the inlet valve
    bridge (7). Turn inlet adjustment screw (5) while valve adjustment locknut (6) is being
    held from turning. Adjust the valve lash until the correct specification is achieved. Refer
    to Table 2.

    c. After each adjustment, tighten valve adjustment locknut (6) while valve adjustment screw
    (5) is being held from turning. Tighten to a torque of 30 ± 7 N·m (22 ± 5 lb ft). Recheck
    each adjustment.

    7. Adjust the valve lash on the exhaust valves for cylinders 3, 4, 7, 8, 11, and 12.

    a. Loosen valve adjustment locknut (1).

    b. Place the appropriate feeler gauge between the exhaust rocker arm (3) and the exhaust
    valve bridge (8). Turn exhaust adjustment screw (2) while valve adjustment locknut (1) is
    being held from turning. Adjust the valve lash until the correct specification is achieved.
    Refer to Table 2.

    c. After each adjustment, tighten valve adjustment locknut (1) while valve adjustment screw
    (2) is being held from turning. Tighten to a torque of 30 ± 7 N·m (22 ± 5 lb ft). Recheck
    each adjustment.

    8. Remove the timing bolt from the flywheel after all valve lash adjustments have been made.
