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

Note: Ensure that you are performing this procedure on a cold engine.

3. Install the 1U-8869 Dial Indicator onto the appropriate arm assembly:

a. Attach the magnetic base for the dial indicator to a machined surface on the cylinder head of
the engine. Ensure that the base is securely fastened to the surface.

b. Adjust the holding rods so that the dial indicator probe is located on the flat portion of the
top of the rocker arm's wear seat .

Refer to Illustration 1.

4. Firmly tap the rocker arm at the top of the adjustment screw with a soft mallet. This will ensure
that the lifter roller seats against the base circle of the camshaft lobe.

5. Zero the dial indicator.

6. Pivot the rocker arm on the rocker shaft. The valve lash is the total movement that is indicated by
the dial indicator as the rocker arm pivots on the rocker shaft.

7. Adjust the valve lash on the appropriate valves:

a. Loosen the adjustment locknut.

b. Turn the adjuster in order to obtain the appropriate reading for the valve lash that is
measured on the dial indicator.

c. Tighten the adjustment locknut. Do not allow the adjustment screw to turn while you are
tightening the adjustment locknut.

Torque for adjustment locknut ... 120 ± 15 N·m (90± 11 lb ft)

d. Recheck the valve lash after tightening the adjustment locknut.
