    Valve Clearances & Cylinder Numbering

    Uploaded by

    sxturbo
    This document provides instructions for setting valve clearances on an engine. It gives the specifications for inlet and exhaust valve clearances of 0.40mm and 0.60mm respectively for an 8V and 12V engine. It describes two methods for setting the valves, which involve using a rotator to turn the engine to the correct firing position for each cylinder before adjusting the clearances as needed with feeler gauges and a valve setting wrench. Tightening torque for the locknuts on the adjusting screws is specified as 50 Nm.

    Setting

    Method 1

    Mount rotator with screws M8x20 on gear case.

    Rotator 407 589 00 63 00

    Turn engine in direction of rotation until valves of a


    cylinder (e.g. 6th cylinder on V8 engine) overlap.

    The synchronous piston is now in firing TDC (e.g. 1st


    cylinder on V8 engine) and valves can be set.

    Note

    X = Free end

    Set all other valves in accordance with firing order.


    Example: V8 engine
    If the following cylinders are in overlap top dead centre
    the valves can be set in accordance with the firing
    order.

    Overlap TDC 6- 3- 4- 8- 1- 5- 7- 2

    Cylinder to be set 1- 5- 7- 2- 6- 3- 4- 8

    If valves on 6th cylinder overlap, valves on 1st cylinder


    can be set.

    Gauge 0.40 mm 617 589 04 23 00
    Gauge retainer 617 589 00 40 00

    If it is necessary to correct valve clearance, fit valve


    setting wrench on adjusting screw, release locknut and
    correct valve clearance. Tighten locknut, 50 Nm.

    engine in direction of rotation until TDC mark is aligned
    with edge (arrow) in inspection port.

    Check whether 1st cylinder is in firing TDC or in overlap


    TDC (in firing TDC the two valves are closed, rocker
    arms are completely unloaded and push rod cannot be
    turned).

    When 1st cylinder is in firing TDC the following valves


    can be set:

    X = Free end

    12V 183 1,2,4,7,9,11 1,3,5,8,9,12

    When 1st cylinder is at overlap TDC the following


    valves can be set:

    Engine Inlet valve Exhaust valve


    8V 183 2,5,6,7 3,4,6,8
