General Information
with Mechanically Actuated Injector
The Outer Base Circle Method overhead

setting procedure can be used for fixed
time (PT®) and Hydraulic Variable
Timing/STC injectors, regardless of CPL
or build date.
On engines with a hydro-mechanical

STC valve, remove the oil supply from
the oil control valve. Plug the hose, cap,
and fitting. This prevents the engine from
going into advance timing.
Operate the engine at high idle for 5

minutes in normal timing mode. This will
allow all the lubricating oil to pump out of
the injector tappets so a correct injector
adjustment can be made.
Shut the engine OFF.
with Electronically Actuated Injector
https://quickserve.cummins.com/qs3/pubsys2/xml/en/procedures/28/28-003-006-tr.html 23/04/2016
For engines with electronically actuated

injectors, periodic valve adjustment is not
required. It is recommended that the
valves be adjusted only when an injector
is removed.
The cylinders are numbered from the

front gear cover end of the engine.
To determine the right and left bank on

the QSK38 and QSK50 engine, stand at
the rear of the engine and face the front.
When referring to system electronics, a

standard cylinder numbering system has
been adopted. This is only used for the
electronic system components on
engines with electronically actuated
injectors.
Each cylinder has two rocker levers.

When facing the cylinder head, the
rocker lever on the left is the exhaust
rocker lever. The rocker lever on the right
is the intake rocker lever.
If the push rods are removed for the

service, make sure they are installed in
the same locations.
QSK38 Firing Order:
1R-6L-5R-2L-3R-4L-6R-1L-2R-5L-4R-3L
or 2-11-10-3-6-7-12-1-4-9-8-5.
RB = Right Bank of cylinders.
LB = Left Bank of cylinders.
QSK50 Firing Order:
1R-1L-3R-3L-2R-2L-5R-4L-8R-8L-6R-6L-
7R-7L-4R-5L or 2-1-6-5-4-3-10-7-16-15-
12-11-14-13-8-9
RB = Right Bank of cylinders.
LB = Left Bank of cylinders.
The normal rotation direction for QSK38

and QSK50 is clockwise, when viewed
from the front of the engine.

Valve and injector adjustment marks are

in three locations.
Valve and injector adjustment marks are

on the vibration damper. The marks
must be aligned with the pointer.
CAUTION
When using the starter covers on the

right bank, the marks on the flywheel
that begin with an “A” must be used or
the valves and injectors will not be
adjusted correctly, causing damage to

the push rods.
For valve and injector adjustment marks

on the flywheel, with the engine barring
device located on the right bank of the
engine:
• The starter bore cover must be

removed to see the marks.
CAUTION

left bank, the marks on the flywheel
that begin with a “C” must be used or
the valves and injectors will not be
adjusted correctly, causing damage to
the push rods.
For valve and injector adjustment marks

on the flywheel, with the engine barring
device located on the left bank of the
engine:
• The starter bore cover must be

removed to see the marks.
This illustration also shows the engine

barring device. To use the device,
remove the clip and push the device
shaft toward the flywheel. The barring
device must be rotated
counterclockwise to turn the flywheel
and crankshaft in the direction of normal
rotation.
The following is the firing order for all K38

engines.
• 1R-6L-5R-2L-3R-4L-6R-1L-2R-5L-
4R-3L
NOTE: Not all K50 engines have the

same firing order. Some engines
manufactured after September 1986
have a revised firing order. These
engines have decals on the rocker
lever covers and the engine dataplate
is stamped with “REVISED FIRING
ORDER”.
The following is the standard firing order

for all K50 engines which were
manufactured before September 1986.
• 1R-1L-3R-3L-7R-7L-5R-5L-8R-8L-

The normal rotation direction for K38 and
6R-6L-7R-7L-4R-5L
K50 engines is clockwise, when viewed
from the front of the engine.
The valve set is represented by “VS”.

Ignore the “TC” (top center) marks while
setting the valves and injectors.
Determine the cylinder in position for

valve set:
• The crossheads and valves are

ready to be adjusted on the cylinder
that has all the valves closed
• Check the two cylinders shown on
the “VS” mark.
NOTE: The KTA50-G3, KTA50-G4,

KTTA50-G2, K2000E, K1800E, and
K1500E engines contain a unique
camshaft that creates a noticeable
difference in the height of the valve
adjusting screws. When the valves are
properly adjusted on these engines,
the exhaust valve adjusting screw will
have approximately one thread visible
above the top of the lock nut. The

intake valve adjusting screw will have
approximately three threads visible
above the top of the adjusting screw.
If the rocker lever assemblies have been

removed, use this step to determine the
cylinder to be set.
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 levers.
The cylinder with the adjusting screws

that are nearly the same height (intake
screw can be up to two threads above
the exhaust) is ready for valve
adjustment. The second cylinder that is
not ready for adjustment will have the
adjusting screw for the exhaust valve
more than five threads above the intake
screw.
The push rods will be close to the same

height above the top of the rocker lever
housing on the cylinder ready for valve
adjustment.
CAUTION
Use the correct chart for the engine

being serviced or the parts can be
damaged.
If the rocker levers have not been

removed, wiggle the valve rocker levers
on the two cylinders in question. The
crossheads and valves on the cylinder

where both levers feel loose are ready to
adjust.
After identifying the cylinder with the

valves ready to be adjusted, use the
following charts for the sequence. The
steps and specifications for adjusting the
crossheads, valves, and injectors follow
the charts.
Adjustment can begin on any valve set

mark. In the illustration, assume the 1R-
6R or 1R-8R marks are aligned and the
adjusting screw height for the valves on
the cylinder number 1 right-bank are
closed and ready to adjust.
The following charts give the crosshead,

valve, and injector adjustment sequence.
