Engine Valve Lash - Inspect/Adjust

SMCS - 1102-025

To prevent possible injury, do not use the starter to turn the flywheel.

Hot engine components can cause burns. Allow additional time for the
engine to cool before measuring valve clearance.

This engine uses high voltage to control the fuel injectors.

Disconnect electronic fuel injector enable circuit connector to prevent

personal injury.

Do not come in contact with the fuel injector terminals while the engine
is running.

Note: Valve lash is measured between the rocker arm and the valve bridge. All measurements and
adjustments must be made with the engine stopped and the valves fully closed.

Valve Lash Check

An adjustment is not necessary if the measurement of the valve lash is in the acceptable range in
Table 1.

The No. 1 cylinder is at the front of the engine.

If the measurement is not within this range, an adjustment is necessary. Refer to "Valve Lash
Adjustment" for the proper procedure.

Valve Lash Adjustment

Use the following procedure to adjust the valve lash:

1. Put the No. 1 piston at the top center position on the compression stroke. Refer to Testing
and Adjusting, "Finding Top Center Position for No. 1 Piston".

2. Adjust the valve lash according to Table 2 for C13 engines. Adjust the valve lash according
to Table 3 for C15 and C18 engines.

a. Lightly tap the rocker arm with a soft mallet. This action will ensure that the lifter
roller seats against the base circle of the camshaft.

b. Loosen the adjustment locknut.

c. Place the appropriate feeler gauge between rocker arm and the valve bridge. Then,
turn the adjustment screw in a clockwise direction. Slide the feeler gauge between the
rocker arm and the valve bridge. Continue turning the adjustment screw until a slight
drag is felt on the feeler gauge. Remove the feeler gauge.

d. Tighten the adjustment locknut to a torque of 30 ± 7 N·m (22 ± 5 lb ft). Do not allow
the adjustment screw to turn while you are tightening the adjustment locknut.
Recheck the valve lash after tightening the adjustment locknut.

3. Remove the timing bolt and turn the flywheel by 360 degrees in the direction of engine
rotation. This action will put the No. 6 piston at the top center position on the compression
stroke. Install the timing bolt in the flywheel.

4. Adjust the valve lash for C13 engines using Table 4. Adjust the valve lash according to
Table 5 for C15 and C18 engines.

a. Lightly tap the rocker arm with a soft mallet. This action will ensure that the lifter
roller seats against the base circle of the camshaft.

b. Loosen the adjustment locknut.

c. Place the appropriate feeler gauge between rocker arm and the valve bridge. Then,
turn the adjustment screw in a clockwise direction. Slide the feeler gauge between the
rocker arm and the valve bridge. Continue turning the adjustment screw until a slight
drag is felt on the feeler gauge. Remove the feeler gauge.

d. Tighten the adjustment locknut to a torque of 30 ± 7 N·m (22 ± 5 lb ft). Do not allow
the adjustment screw to turn while you are tightening the adjustment locknut.
Recheck the valve lash after tightening the adjustment locknut.

5. Remove the timing bolt from the flywheel after all adjustments to the valve lash have been
made. Reinstall the timing cover.

Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Electronic Unit Injector - Adjust".
