Remove the flywheel inspection cover located under
the engine flywheel housing. Install engine turning
tool 9996956.

2
Turn the engine to the camshaft marking to adjust the
corresponding valve (for example, no. 5, as shown in
illustration), as indicated below:

• Marking 1 – 6: Apply to adjustment of valve bridge


intake valves, exhaust valves, and unit injector.

Example:
Adjustments for no. 5 intake clearances, no. 5 injector
preload, and no. 5 exhaust valve clearances would be
made in this engine position.

Loosen lock nut and back off adjusting screw until it no
longer makes contact with the injector socket.
Note: Adjust injector before adjusting intake and
exhaust valves.

Adjust the unit injector’s adjusting screw to zero
clearance.

Torque-tighten the adjusting screw lock nut to
52 ± 4 Nm (38 ± 3 ft-lb).

Note: Mark the rocker arm and injector rocker when each
valve has been adjusted.

Valve bridge with guide

W2004467

Valve bridge without guide

Note: A valve bridge design (without guide pin) is used in


D12 engines. These may be installed in combination
with the current valve bridge design with guide pin. The
procedure for adjusting valves remains the same, except
that the valve bridge without guide pin does not need
adjusting. Valve clearances are also unchanged. For
intake valves, the valve bridge without guide pin may
be installed facing either direction. A valve bridge with
guide pin must always be installed as a replacement
component.

Intake and Exhaust Valve Bridge Adjustment


8

W2004433

CAUTION
The valve bridge must be adjusted prior to the valve
clearance adjustment that is related to it. Failure to
do this can result in breakage or damage to the
valve bridge guide.

Note: The valve bridge adjustment can only be made


when there is clearance between the valve bridge
and the rockerarm.

Adjust the valve bridge clearance:

• Loosen the adjusting screw lock nut.


• Loosen adjusting screw until it no longer contacts
valve stem.
• Press valve bridge downward toward the valve stem.
• Tighten adjusting screw until it makes contact, then
turn an additional 1 flat or 60 .
• Hold adjusting screw in place and torque-tighten nut to
38 ± 3 Nm (28 ± 2 ft-lb).

Recheck valve clearance after nut is torque-tightened.

10
Rotate the engine to the next cylinder mark on the
camshaft. Adjust unit injector, valve bridges, intake and
exhaust valves on that cylinder.

11
With engine cold (140 F or less), adjust the valve
clearance for exhaust to 0.5 mm (0.020 in.). Hold
adjusting screw in place and torque-tighten lock nut to 38
± 3 Nm (28 ± 2 ft-lb).

Note: Mark each valve rocker lever as you adjust it to


know which valves have already been adjusted.

With engine cold (140 F or less), adjust valve clearance
to 0.2 mm (0.008 in.). Hold adjusting screw in place and
torque-tighten lock nut to 38 ± 3 Nm (28 ± 2 ft-lb).
Note: Mark each valve rocker lever as you adjust it to
know which valves have already been adjusted.
