Adjust
The barring device used on later engines with the one-piece
front cover turns approximately two revolutions before the
engine begins to turn. The device will not turn the engine
opposite the direction of normal rotation.
The barring device used on older engines with the two-piece
front cover will turn the engine opposite the direction of
normal rotation.
Remove the clip and push the shaft in and turn the barring
device counterclockwise until the “A” mark on the pulley is
aligned with the mark that is cast into the boss for the
accessory drive seal on the front gear cover.
Determine the cylinder in position for valve set.
The valves will be adjusted on the cylinder that has all of the
valves closed.
Use the table to determine the cylinders for valve position.
If the rocker lever assemblies have been removed, use this
step to determine the cylinder to be set.
Lubricate the adjusting screw threads with clean engine oil
prior to making valve and injector adjustments.
All adjusting screws must be loose on all cylinders, and the
push rod must remain in alignment.
Perform this step on both cylinders to be checked.
Hold both rocker levers against the crossheads. Turn the
adjusting screws until they touch the push rods. Turn the
lock nuts until they touch the rocker levers.
The push rods will be the same height above the top of the
rocker lever housing on the cylinder ready for valve
adjustment.
CAUTION
There are two different procedures for adjusting the valves
and injectors on K19 engines. Engines with fixed time are
adjusted on the inner base circle of the camshaft using a
dial indicator. Engines with STC (step timing control) or
hydraulic variable timing are adjusted on the outer base
circle using a torque wrench. Make sure to use the correct
procedure for the engine being serviced, or all of the push
rods can be bent.
If the rocker levers have not been removed, wiggle the valve
rocker levers on the two cylinders in question.
Set the valves on the cylinder where both rocker levers feel
loose.
Use the chart to determine the valve and injector that is
ready to adjust.
Adjustment can begin on any valve set mark.
In the example, assume the A mark is aligned and the push
rod heights indicate the valves on cylinder number 6 are
closed, and one valve on cylinder 1 is fully open.
The chart shows the valves on cylinder number 2 and
injector on cylinder number 3 are ready to adjust.
After the adjustment, bar the engine to the B set mark.
Adjust the valves on cylinder number 4 and injector on
cylinder number 6.
Injectors
Use a dial-type torque wrench, Part Number 3164795, or
equivalent, to tighten the injector rocker lever adjusting
screw. If the screw chatters during setting, repair the
adjusting screw and rocker lever as required.
Position the torque wrench so the dial can be viewed in a
direct line. This will enable the dial to be read accurately.
Make sure the parts are in alignment and squeeze the oil out
of the valve and injector train, while tightening the adjusting
screw. This is an initial preload to the valve train and the
injector.
Tighten the adjusting screw.
The torque wrench must be calibrated and have a resolution
of 0.28 N•m [2.5 in-lb]. and have a range of 17 to 23 N•m
[150 to 200 in-lb].
Torque Value:
1. 11 n•m [ 100 in-lb ]
2. Loosen adjusting screw 1 revolution.
3. 10 n•m [ 90 in-lb ]
Hold the adjusting screw in position. The adjusting screw
must not turn when the lock nut is tightened.
Tighten the lock nut.
Torque Value:
With Torque Wrench Adapter, Part Number ST-669
1. 45 n•m [ 33 ft-lb ]
Torque Value:
Without Adapter
1. 60 n•m [ 44 ft-lb ]
Crossheads
Crosshead adjustment must always be completed before
attempting to adjust the valves.
Adjust the crossheads on the cylinder that has both valves
closed.
Loosen the crosshead adjusting screw lock nuts on the
intake and exhaust valve crossheads.
Use this procedure to adjust both the intake and the exhaust
crossheads.
Turn the adjusting screw out a minimum of one turn.
Hold the crosshead down against its mating valve stem.
Turn the adjusting screw in until it touches the top of the
valve stem but does not raise the crosshead.
Hold the adjusting screw in position. The adjusting screw
must not turn when the lock nut is tightened to its torque
value.
Tighten the lock nut.
Torque values are given when using and not using adapter,
overhead adjustment kit, Part Number 5298979 (1).
Torque Value:
Without Jacobs® Brake (With Adapter)
1. 35 n•m [ 25 ft-lb ]
Torque Value:
Without Jacobs® Brake (Without Adapter)
1. 40 n•m [ 30 ft-lb ]
Torque Value:
With Jacobs® Brake (With Adapter)
1. 40 n•m [ 30 ft-lb ]
Torque Value:
With Jacobs® Brake (Without Adapter)
1. 45 n•m [ 33 ft-lb ]
Valves
Use the table below to for valve adjustment initial set.
Valve Adjustment (Initial
Set)
Reference Point Valve
A Exhaust 0.69 mm [0.027 in]
B Intake 0.36 mm [0.014 in]
The recheck limits are to be used when checking the
overhead set during troubleshooting or periodic
maintenance. The initial set specifications must be used
when the valves are being adjusted.
Valve Recheck Limits
Reference Point Valve
Exhaust minimum of 0.610
A

Exhaust maximum of 0.762
A
mm [0.030 in]
Valve Recheck Limits
Reference Point Valve
Intake minimum 0.279 mm
B
[0.011 in]
Intake maximum 0.432 mm
B
[0.017 in]
Make sure the crosshead is firmly in place on the valve stem
tips.
Select a feeler gauge for the correct valve lash specification.
Use service tool, Part Number 3163171 (intake) or Part
Number 3163172 (exhaust).
Insert the feeler gauge between the rocker lever socket and
crosshead.
There are two different methods for establishing valve lash
clearance. Either method can be used. The torque wrench
method has proven to be the most consistent.
Torque wrench method: Tightens the adjusting screw to
0.68 N•m [6 in-lb] against the feeler gauge, using torque
wrench, Part Number 3376592.
Feel method: Turns the adjusting screw until the lever
touches the feeler gauge using a nut driver.
This step outlines the procedure for setting the valve lash
using the torque wrench method.
Make sure the parts are in alignment and squeeze the oil out
of the valve and injector train while tightening the adjusting
screw.
Loosen the adjusting screw one revolution.
Insert the appropriate feeler gauge between the rocker lever
and the crosshead.
Tighten the adjusting screw.
Torque Value: 0.68 n•m [ 6 in-lb ]
Remove the feeler gauge.
The adjusting screw must not turn when the lock nut is
tightened.
Tighten the lock nut.
Torque Value:
With Torque Wrench Adapter, Part Number ST-669
1. 45 n•m [ 33 ft-lb ]
Torque Value:
Without Adapter
1. 60 n•m [ 44 ft-lb ]
This step outlines the procedure for setting the valve using
the feel method.
Make sure the parts are in alignment and squeeze the oil out
of the valve and injector train while tightening the adjusting
screw.
Loosen the adjusting screw one revolution.
Insert the appropriate feeler gauge between the rocker lever
and crosshead.
The feeler gauge must slide backward and forward with only
a slight drag.
The adjusting screw must not turn when the lock nut is
tightened.
Tighten the lock nut.
Torque Value:
With Torque Wrench Adapter, Part Number ST-669
1. 45 n•m [ 33 ft-lb ]
Torque Value:
Without Adapter
1. 60 n•m [ 44 ft-lb ]
Attempt to insert a feeler gauge 0.03 mm [0.001 in] thicker
than used for setting the valve lash.
The valve lash is not correct if the feeler gauge will fit.
Repeat the adjustment process until the clearance is correct
on both the intake and exhaust valves.
