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.
Refer to Systems Operation, "Engine Design" for the location of the cylinder valves.
If the valve lash requires adjustment several times in a short period of time, excessive wear exists in a
different part of the engine. Find the problem and make necessary repairs 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.
• Excessive dirt and oil are present on the filters for the inlet air.

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

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

Remove the valve mechanism cover and perform the following procedure in order to adjust the valve
lash:
1. Put the No. 1 piston at the top center position on the compression stroke. Refer to Testing and
Adjusting, "Finding Top Center Position for No. 1 Piston".

a. Lightly tap the rocker arm at the top of the adjustment screw with a soft mallet. This will
ensure that the lifter seats against the camshaft.
c. Place the appropriate feeler gauge between rocker arm and the valve stem. Then, turn the
adjustment screw in a clockwise direction. Slide the feeler gauge between the rocker arm
and the valve stem. Continue turning the adjustment screw until a slight drag is felt on the
feeler gauge. Remove the feeler gauge.
d. Tighten the adjustment locknut to a torque of 27 N·m (20 lb ft). Do not allow the
adjustment screw to turn while you are tightening the adjustment locknut. Recheck the
valve lash after tightening the adjustment locknut.
3. Rotate the engine by 360 degrees. The engine will be on TC compression stroke for cylinder 4.
