14.15 VALVE LASH ADJUSTMENTS
Accurate adjustment of clearance between intake and exhaust valves is important if maximum
performance and economy are to be obtained.
NOTE:
Every time the valve lash is adjusted the engine brake lash will also need to be set.
NOTE:
Adjust the valve lash before setting the engine brake lash.
NOTICE:
Failure to measure valve clearances at the required initial
period and make necessary adjustments may result in gradual
degrading of engine performance and reduced fuel combustion
efficiency.
Adjust the valves as follows:
1. Turn engine OFF, (key OFF, engine OFF).
2. Steam clean the engine.
3. Disconnect the starting power for the engine. Refer to OEM procedures.
4. Remove the air cleaner and the turbocharger inlet pipe and hose.

7. Bar the engine over until cylinder number one is at Top Dead Center (TDC) compression
stroke. (J-46392).
8. Using a feeler gauge (1), lash intake valves one, two and four to 0.4 mm (0.016 in.).
