Valve Lash G3408 2

This document provides instructions for setting the valve clearance on Cat engines. It gives the specifications for exhaust and intake valve clearances. The procedure explains how to adjust the clearance by loosening a locknut, turning an adjustment screw to set the clearance using a feeler gauge, and then tightening the locknut. Tables provide the crankshaft positions for checking different cylinders and valves.

Valve Clearance Setting


Note: Valve clearance is measured between the rocker arm and the bridge for the valves.

Note: If the valve clearance is adjusted, the bridge must be checked.

Table 1
Setting For The Clearance Of The Valves

Exhaust
1.02 ± 0.10 mm (0.040 ± 0.004 inch)

Intake
0.38 ± 0.10 mm (0.015 ± 0.004 inch)

Valve Adjustment

To make an adjustment to the valve clearance, turn the adjustment screw in the rocker arm. Valve
clearance adjustments can be made by using the procedure that follows:

1. Put the No. 1 piston at the piston top center position on the compression stroke. Refer to
Finding The Piston Top Center Position For No. 1 Piston On The Compression Stroke for
additional information.

2. Refer to the chart for the adjustment of the valves that have only two crankshaft positions.

3. Loosen the locknut for the adjustment screw on the pushrod. Turn the screw
counterclockwise in order to increase the valve clearance.

4. Put a feeler gauge of the correct dimension between the rocker arm and bridge contact
surface. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise until the valve clearance is set to the
specifications in the chart.

5. After each adjustment, tighten the nut for the adjustment screw to a torque of 28 ± 4 N·m
(21 ± 3 lb ft) and check the adjustment again.

Put the No. 1 piston at the top center (TC) position and identify the correct stroke. Make reference to Testing And
Adjusting, "Finding Top Center Position For No 1 Piston". Find the top center position for a particular stroke and
make the adjustment for the correct cylinders. Remove the timing bolt. Turn the flywheel by 360 degrees in the
direction of normal engine rotation. This will put the no. 1 piston at the top center (TC) position on the other
stroke. Install the timing bolt in the flywheel and complete the adjustments for the cylinders that remain.
