Preparatory Steps
 WARNING 

Batteries can emit explosive gases. To reduce the

possibility of personal injury, always ventilate the
compartment before
servicing the batteries. To reduce the
possibility of arcing, remove the negative (-) battery cable
first and attach the negative
(-) battery cable last.

Disconnect the batteries. See the equipment

manufacturer service information.
If required, remove the crankcase ventilation filter cover
and filter. Refer to Procedure 003-021 in Section 3.
(/qs3/pubsys2/xml/en/procedures/31/31-003-021-om-
qsbt4i.html)
Remove the rocker lever cover and gasket. Refer to
Procedure 003-011 in Section A.
(/qs3/pubsys2/xml/en/procedures/31/31-003-011-om-
qsbt4i.html)

Adjust
Engine coolant temperature must be less than 60°C [140°F]

Use the barring tool, Part Number 3824591, to rotate the

crankshaft until the number 1 cylinder is at top dead center
(TDC).

The TDC indicator is on the vibration damper.

Align the vibration damper so the TDC indicator is at the 12
o'clock position.

Note
: If no TDC mark is present on either the
vibration damper or the crankshaft speed indicator
ring, align the large gap in the
crankshaft speed
indicator ring to the 5 o'clock position (2). The dowel
pin will be visible in the 9 o'clock position (1).
Check
that both number 1 cylinder rocker levers are loose. If
they are not loose, rotate the crankshaft 360 degrees
and check again.

If both of the number 1 cylinder rocker levers are loose,

proceed to the next step; If the number 1 cylinder rocker
levers
are not loose, rotate the crankshaft 360 degrees and
proceed to the next step.

Be sure to check the engine dataplate for correct valve lash

(overhead set) specifications.

If the number 1 cylinder is at TDC and both rocker levers are

loose, the valve lash (overhead set) can be checked on the
following
rocker levers:

(E= exhaust, I= Intake)

1I, 1E, 2I, 3E, 4I, and 5E.

Overhead Set Check Limits

mm in
Intake 0.152 MIN 0.006
  0.381 MAX 0.015
 Exhaust 0.381 MIN 0.015
  0.762 MAX 0.030

Checking the overhead setting is usually performed as part

of a troubleshooting procedure, and resetting is not required
during checks, as long as the lash measurements are within
the specifications shown above.

The clearance is correct when some resistance is felt when

the feeler gauge is slipped between the crosshead and the
rocker
lever socket.

Measure the valve lash (overhead set) by inserting a feeler

gauge between the crosshead and the rocker lever socket. If
the
measurement is out of specification, loosen the locknut
and adjust the lash to nominal specifications.

Valve Lash (Overhead Set)

mm in
Intake 0.254 NOM 0.010
Exhaust 0.508 NOM 0.020

Tighten the locknut and measure the clearance again.

Torque Value:  24

Use the barring tool, Part Number 3824591, to rotate the

crankshaft 360 degrees.

Use the previous steps and specifications to set the valve

lash on the following rocker levers:

(E= exhaust, I= Intake)

2E, 3I, 4E, 5I, 6I, and 6E.

If the measurements are out of specification, set the valve

lash.

Connect the batteries. See the equipment manufacturer
service information.
Operate the engine and check for leaks.
