Overlapping means that the exhaust valve is about to open and the inlet valve is about to close. It should not be
possible to rotate any push rods by hand for the cylinder in question in this position.

2. Adjusting screw
1. Loosen the adjusting screw's lock bolt on the rocker arm.
2. Install the protractor on the adjusting screw.
3. Turn the adjusting screw until zero clearance is obtained between rocker arm and valve. Reset the protractor to
zero.
4. Turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise 90° for inlet valve and 150° for exhaust valve.
5. Hold the adjusting screw and tighten the lock nut at the same time. Tightening torque: see Engine, tightening
torques
16. Rotate the crankshaft another full turn until the valves for cylinder 6 overlap. Adjust the valve clearance for each cylinder
according to the black markings in the figure.
NOTE!
When all valves are adjusted, do not rotate the engine. Continue directly with installing and adjusting the IEGR unit.

2. Adjusting screw
1. Loosen the adjusting screw's lock bolt on the IEGR unit.
2. Install the protractor on the adjusting screw.
3. Turn the adjusting screw until zero clearance is obtained between the IEGR-opening piston and exhaust rocker
arm. Reset the protractor to zero.
4. Turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise 144°.
5. Hold the adjusting screw and tighten the lock nut at the same time. Tightening torque: see Engine, tightening
torques
21. Rotate the crankshaft another full turn until the valves for cylinder 1 overlap. Adjust IEGR-opening piston for cylinder 2,
4 and 6.
22. Install the new gasket on the valve cover.
NOTE!
Make sure that the tab (1) on the gasket is positioned correctly.
