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.

Valve Lash Setting

The valve lash setting is for a cold engine.

Valve lash setting

Inlet valve ... 0.2 ± 0.05 mm (0.008 ± 0.0020 inch)

Exhaust valve ... 0.2 ± 0.05 mm (0.008 ± 0.0020 inch)

Valve Lash Adjustment

If the valve lash requires adjustment several times in a short time period, excessive wear exists in a
different part of the engine. Repair the problem in order to prevent more damage to the engine.

Not enough valve lash can be the cause of rapid wear of the camshaft and valve lifters. Not enough
valve lash can indicate that the seats for the valves are worn.

Valves become worn due to the following causes:

• Incorrect operation of fuel injectors

• Excessive dirt and oil are present on the filters for the inlet air.

• Incorrect fuel settings on the fuel injection pump.

• The load capacity of the engine is frequently exceeded.

Too much valve lash can cause broken valve stems, springs, and spring retainers. Too much valve
lash can be an indication of the following problems:

• Worn camshaft and valve lifters

• Worn rocker arms

• Bent pushrods

• Broken socket on the upper end of a pushrod

• Loose adjustment screw for the valve lash

If the camshaft and valve lifters show rapid wear, look for fuel in the lubrication oil or dirty
lubrication oil as a possible cause.

The valve lash is measured between the top of the valve stem and the rocker arm lever.

Note: No. 1 cylinder is at the front of the engine.

Remove the Valve Mechanism Cover. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Valve Mechanism
Cover - Remove and Install".

Note: During the inspection and adjustment of the valve lash, the front housing must be installed.

Accidental engine starting can cause injury or death to personnel.

To prevent accidental engine starting, turn the ignition switch to the

OFF position, place a do not operate tag at the ignition switch location
and disconnect and tape the electrical connection to the stop solenoid
that is located on the fuel injection pump.

NOTICE

Ensure that this valve lash adjustment procedure is followed for the
three cylinder engine. Do not use the traditional opposing cylinders
method. Failure to follow the correct procedure may result in serious
engine damage.

1. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise until the piston of No. 1 cylinder is at the top center position on
the compression stroke. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, "Finding Top
Center Position for No. 1 Piston" for the correct procedure. Ensure that the "Top" mark (3) on
the timing case aligns with "Dot" (4) on the crankshaft pulley.

2. Check the valve lash of the inlet valve of No. 1 cylinder and the exhaust valve of No. 1
cylinder. If necessary, make adjustment.

a. Loosen the valve adjustment screw locknut that is on adjustment screw (2).

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

c. After each adjustment, tighten the valve adjustment screw locknut while adjustment
screw (2) is being held from turning.

3. Rotate the crankshaft in a clockwise direction that is viewed from the front of the engine.
Rotate the crankshaft clockwise until the piston of No. 2 cylinder is at the top center position on
the compression stroke. Ensure that the "Top" mark (3) on the timing case aligns with "Dot" (5)

on the crankshaft pulley. Check the valve lash of the inlet valve for No. 2 cylinder and the
exhaust valve for No. 2 cylinder.

If adjustment is necessary, refer to steps 2.a, 2.b, and 2.c.

4. Rotate the crankshaft in a clockwise direction that is viewed from the front of the engine.
Rotate the crankshaft clockwise until the piston of No. 3 cylinder is at the top center position on
the compression stroke. Ensure that the "Top" mark (3) on the timing case aligns with "Dot" (6)
on the crankshaft pulley. Check the valve lash of the inlet valve for No. 3 cylinder and the
exhaust valve for No. 3 cylinder.

If adjustment is necessary, refer to steps 2.a, 2.b, and 2.c.

1. Rotate the crankshaft in a clockwise direction that is viewed from the front of the engine. When
the inlet valve of the No. 4 cylinder has started to open and the exhaust valve of the No. 4
cylinder has not closed, ensure that the "Top" mark (3) on the timing case aligns with "Single
dot" (4) on the crankshaft pulley. Check the valve lash of the inlet valve and the exhaust valve
of the No. 1 cylinder. Check the valve lash of the inlet valve of the No. 2 cylinder. Check the
valve lash of the exhaust valve of the No. 3 cylinder. If necessary, make an adjustment.

Note: The "Single dot" (4) on the crankshaft pulley is the reference point for the top center
position of No. 1 cylinder.

a. Loosen the valve adjustment screw locknut that is on adjustment screw (2).

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

c. After each adjustment, tighten the valve adjustment screw locknut while adjustment
screw (2) is being held from turning.

2. Rotate the crankshaft in a clockwise direction 360°. When the inlet valve of the No. 1 cylinder
has started to open and the exhaust valve of the No. 1 cylinder has not closed, ensure that the
"Top" mark (3) on the timing case aligns with "Single dot" (4) on the crankshaft pulley. Check
the valve lash of the exhaust valve of the No. 2 cylinder. Check the valve lash of the inlet valve
of the No. 3 cylinder. Check the valve lash of the inlet valve and the exhaust valve of the No. 4
cylinder. If necessary, make an adjustment.

If adjustment is necessary, refer to Steps 1.a, 1.b, and 1.c above.
