Setting Valve Clearance Model Series 500 28.08.

2003

Checking and setting valve clearance has not changed from model series BR 400; there are 2 methods.

Method 1
Set intake and exhaust valves for each cylinder in accordance with injection sequence.
The cylinder to be adjusted must be set to ignition TDC, the synchronous cylinder in overlap TDC.
For this method the crankshaft on the 6-cylinder engine has to be cranked six times, on the 8-cylinder
engine it has to be cranked eight times.

Method 2
Set the intake and exhaust valve in two crankshaft positions.
Set, if the 1st cylinder is set to ignition TDC when ready to drive.
Set, if the 1st cylinder is set to overlap TDC when ready to drive.

Task 1 m In the graphic, draw an arrow to mark the position at which the valve clearance is checked.

Valve Clearance Tolerance

Intake 0.40 + 0.20 / - 0.10


Exhaust 0.60 + 0.20 / - 0.10

The valve clearance test tolerance only applies when checking valve clearance.
If the valve clearance is out of the tolerance range then the specified value has to be set.
