CORRECTIVE ACTION
b.
Put throttle control in idler position. Pull out PULL TO STOP handle. Rotate crankshaft with starting
motor until injector follower is fully depressed. Loosen jam nut between exhaust valve rocker arm and
push rod.
c.
Slide a 0.027 inch feeler gage between end of exhaust valve stem and rocker arm bridge. If
gage moves freely between valve stem and bridge, the exhaust valve adjustment is incorrect.
Adjust push rod to obtain a smooth pull on feeler gage. Remove feeler gage,
hold push rod, and tighten jam nut. Recheck clearance; if adjustment is correct,
gage will not pass through. Readjust push rod if necessary. Adjust remaining
exhaust valves as necessary. Install valve cover, new gasket, and mounting
bolts.
