Insert the feeler gauge between the top of the crosshead
and the rocker lever nose.
Two different methods for establishing valve lash clear-
ance are described below. Either method can be used;
however, the torque wrench method has proven to be the
most consistent.
• Torque Wrench Method: Use theinch pound torque
wrench, Part No. 3376592, (normally used to set
preload on STC injectors), and tighten the adjusting
screw.
Torque Value: 0.56 to 0.68 N•m [5 to 6 in-lb]
• Feel Method: Tighten the adjusting screw until a
slight drag is felt on the feeler gauge.
Hold the adjusting screw in this position. The adjusting
screw must not turn when the lock nut is tightened.
Tighten the lock nut.
Torque Values:
With torque wrench adapter, 54 N•m [40 ft-lb]
Part No. ST-669
Without adapter 68 N•m [50 ft-lb]
