1. Flywheel Housing
2. Timing Hole
3. Cover Bolt
4. Cover

1. Remove two bolts (3) and remove cover (4) from flywheel housing (1) in order to
open the turning hole.
2. Thread the 136-4632 Timing Pin with the proper Timing Pin Adapter into the
timing hole. The timing hole is located approximately 127 to 152 mm (5.0 to 6.0
inch) above the turning hole for the engine turning tool in the flywheel housing.
Use the 9S-9082 Engine Turning Tool and a 214-7340 Reverse Ratchet to turn the
engine flywheel. Turn the flywheel in the direction of engine rotation. The
direction of engine rotation is counterclockwise, as the engine is viewed from the
flywheel end. Turn the flywheel until the Timing Pin engages with the hole in the
flywheel.
 Note: 5P-7305 Engine Turning Tool may be used in certain applications if the
9S-9082 Engine Turning Tool will not fit the flywheel housing.

Note: If the flywheel is turned beyond the point of engagement, the flywheel must
be turned in the direction that is reverse of normal engine rotation. Turn the
flywheel by approximately 30 degrees. Then turn the flywheel in the direction of
normal rotation until the Timing Pin engages with the hole in the flywheel. This
procedure removes the play from the gears when the No. 1 piston is at the top
center position.

3. Remove the front valve mechanism cover from the engine.

4. The inlet and exhaust valves for the No. 1 cylinder are fully closed if No. 1 piston
is on the compression stroke and the rocker arms can be moved by hand. If the
rocker arms cannot be moved and the valves are slightly open, the No. 1 piston is
on the exhaust stroke.

Note: When the actual stroke position is identified, and the other stroke position
is needed, remove the Timing Pin from the hole in the flywheel. Then turn the
flywheel by 360 degrees in the direction of normal engine rotation and reinstall
the Timing Pin into the hole in the flywheel.

Note: Never turn the engine by the crankshaft vibration damper. The crankshaft
vibration damper is a precision part. Major engine failure may be caused by
damage to the crankshaft vibration damper.

VALVES
Adjust the valve lash while the engine is stopped. Use the following procedure to adjust
the valve lash:

1. Put the No. 1 piston at the top center position. Refer to Testing and Adjusting,
"Finding the Top Center Position For No. 1 Piston".

Note: If the engine is equipped with an engine compression brake, loosen the
adjusting screw for the lash on the slave piston for the compression brake prior to
adjusting the engine valve lash. Refer to the Testing and Adjusting, "Slave Piston
Lash - Adjust" for information that relates to the adjustment of the slave piston
lash for the engine compression brake.

2. Before any adjustments are made, lightly tap the rocker arm at the top of the
adjustment screw with a soft mallet. This will ensure that the lifter roller seats
against the camshaft's base circle.

Note: Refer to Table 2 for the appropriate engine valve lash setting.

3. Make an adjustment to the valve lash on the inlet valves for cylinders 1, 2, and 4.

3.
a. Loosen adjustment locknut (2) .

b. Place the appropriate feeler gauge between rocker arm and the valve
bridge. Then, turn the adjustment screw in a clockwise direction. Slide the
feeler gauge between the rocker arm and the valve bridge. Continue
turning the adjustment screw until a slight drag is felt on the feeler gauge.
Remove the feeler gauge.

c. Tighten the adjustment locknut to a torque of 30 ± 7 N·m (22 ± 5 lb ft). Do

not allow the adjustment screw to turn while you are tightening the
adjustment locknut. Recheck the valve lash after tightening the adjustment
locknut.

4. Make an adjustment to the valve lash on the exhaust valves for cylinders 1, 3, and
5.
 a. Loosen adjustment locknut (2) .

b. Place the appropriate feeler gauge between rocker arm and the valve
bridge. Then, turn the adjustment screw in a clockwise direction. Slide the
feeler gauge between the rocker arm and the valve bridge. Continue
turning the adjustment screw until a slight drag is felt on the feeler gauge.
Remove the feeler gauge.

c. Tighten the adjustment locknut to a torque of 30 ± 7 N·m (22 ± 5 lb ft). Do

not allow the adjustment screw to turn while you are tightening the
adjustment locknut. Recheck the valve lash after tightening the adjustment
locknut.

5. Remove the timing bolt and turn the flywheel by 360 degrees in the direction of
engine rotation. This will put the No. 6 piston at the top center position on the
compression stroke. Install the timing bolt in the flywheel.

6. Before any adjustments are made, lightly tap the rocker arm at the top of the
adjustment screw with a soft mallet. This will ensure that the lifter roller seats
against the camshaft's base circle.

7. Make an adjustment to the valve lash on the inlet valves 3, 5, and 6.

a. Lightly tap the rocker arm at the top of the adjustment screw with a soft
mallet. This will ensure that the lifter roller seats against the camshaft's
base circle.

b. Loosen the adjustment locknut.

c. Place the appropriate feeler gauge between rocker arm and the valve
bridge. Then, turn the adjustment screw in a clockwise direction. Slide the
feeler gauge between the rocker arm and the valve bridge. Continue
turning the adjustment screw until a slight drag is felt on the feeler gauge.
Remove the feeler gauge.

d. Tighten the adjustment locknut to a torque of 30 ± 7 N·m (22 ± 5 lb ft). Do

not allow the adjustment screw to turn while you are tightening the
adjustment locknut. Recheck the valve lash after tightening the adjustment
locknut.

8. Make an adjustment to the valve lash on the exhaust valves for cylinders 2, 4, and
6.
a. Loosen adjustment locknut (2) .

b. Place the appropriate feeler gauge between rocker arm and the valve
bridge. Then, turn the adjustment screw in a clockwise direction. Slide the
feeler gauge between the rocker arm and the valve bridge. Continue
 turning the adjustment screw until a slight drag is felt on the feeler gauge.
Remove the feeler gauge.

c. Tighten the adjustment locknut to a torque of 30 ± 7 N·m (22 ± 5 lb ft). Do

not allow the adjustment screw to turn while you are tightening the
adjustment locknut. Recheck the valve lash after tightening the adjustment
locknut.

9. Remove the timing bolt from the flywheel after all adjustments to the valve lash
have been made. Reinstall the timing cover on the flywheel housing.
