    Lash Gauge Group .

    There are two different design of valve bridges that are used. If the engine is equipped with an adjustable valve bridge
    (Illustration 2), proceed to the "Valve Bridge Adjustment". If the engine is equipped with a nonadjustable valve bridge
    (Illustration 3), proceed to the "Valve Lash Adjustment".

    Valve Bridge Adjustment

    The Electronic Control Module produces high voltage. To prevent


    personal injury make sure the Electronic Control Module is not
    powered and do not come in contact with the fuel injector solenoid
    terminals while the engine is running.

    Note: When the 147-5482 Valve Lash Gauge Group is used, it is not necessary for you to remove the rocker arm shaft
    assemblies. The valves must be fully closed when the adjustment is made. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Finding the Top
    Center Position for the No. 1 Piston".

    Installation
    1. Assemble the 147-2058 Indicator Extension and the 147-5536 Indicator Contact Point on the 147-2056 Dial Indicator
    or on the 147-5537 Dial Indicator .

    2. Install the 145-5191 Gauge Support in the rear bolt hole (2). The rear bolt hole is located in the valve cover base.
    Adjust contact point (3) on the top edge of valve bridge (4) .

    (5) Adjustment screw

    3. Loosen the locknut for the adjustment screw. Loosen the adjustment screw (5) by several turns.

    4. Apply a force of 5 N (1 lb) to 45 N (10 lb). Push down on the top contact surface of the valve bridge. Zero the
    indicator.

    5. Turn adjustment screw (5) in the clockwise direction until the dial indicator reads 0.038 mm (0.0015 inch). This
    measurement is equal to turning the adjustment screw 20 to 30 degrees clockwise after the screw contacts the end of
    the valve.

    6. Hold the adjustment screw with the 148-7211 Bridge Nut Socket (6) in order to tighten the locknut to 30 ± 4 N·m (22
    ± 3 lb ft). You may use a sliderule torque computer in order to determine the torque wrench dial reading for the
    different extensions. Refer to Special Instruction, SEHS7150, "Snap On Torque Computer".

    Valve Lash Adjustment


    The Electronic Control Module produces high voltage. To prevent
    personal injury make sure the Electronic Control Module is not
    powered and do not come in contact with the fuel injector solenoid
    terminals while the engine is running.

    Note: Adjust the valve bridges before you make the valve lash adjustments.

    Valves Gauge Dimension

    Inlet
    0.50 mm (0.020 inch)

    Exhaust
    1.00 mm (0.040 inch)

    1. Ensure that the number 1 piston is at the top center position. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Finding the Top Center
    Position for the No. 1 Piston".

    2. The number 1 piston should be at the top center position of the correct stroke. Make adjustments to the valves
    according to the chart: Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Crankshaft Positions for Fuel Injector Adjustment and Valve
    Lash Setting".

    Note: Tap each rocker arm on the top of the adjustment screw before you make any adjustments. Use a soft hammer.
    Make sure that the lifter roller is seated against the base circle of the camshaft.

    3. Install the 145-5191 Gauge Support (1). Use the 147-2056 Dial Indicator or use the 147-5537 Dial Indicator. Use the
    147-2057 Indicator Contact Point (2). Install the tool in the rear bolt hole. The rear bolt hole is located on the valve
    cover base.

    4. Move the rocker assembly upward and move the rocker arm assembly downward. Move the rocker assembly several
    times. The oil film is removed in order to get a true zero reading on the dial indicator. Use the 147-2060 Wrench (3)
    and use the 147-2059 Torque Wrench (4). Install the socket wrench and install the torque wrench on the nut of the
    rocker arm. Apply upward pressure to the front of the rocker assembly. Set the dial indicator to zero. The weight of
    the torque wrench (4) allows the valve lash to be read. Do not apply any pressure on the torque wrench.

    5. Loosen the locknut. The locknut is located on the adjustment screw of the pushrod. Turn the adjustment screw until
    the valve lash is set to specifications. Tighten the nut for the adjustment screw to 70 ± 15 N·m (50 ± 11 lb ft ). The
    147-2059 Torque Wrench is preset to the torque that is required. Check the adjustment again.
