0330913 JOHNSON SPRING, Detent

This engine uses high voltage to control the fuel injectors.Disconnect electronic fuel injector enable circuit connector to prevent personal injury.Do not come in contact with the fuel injector terminals while the engine is running.
Note: Valve lash is measured between the rocker arm and the valve bridge. All measurements and adjustments must be made with the engine stopped and the valves fully closed.Valve Lash Check
An adjustment is NOT NECESSARY if the measurement of the valve lash is in the acceptable range. Check the valve lash while the engine is stopped. The range is specified in Table 1.
Table 1
Valve Lash    
Valves     Acceptable Range for Valve Lash    
Inlet    
0.38 0.08 mm (0.015 0.003 inch)    
Exhaust    
0.76 0.08 mm (0.030 0.003 inch)    If the measurement is not within this range, adjustment is necessary. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Valve Lash Adjustment".Valve Lash Adjustment

Use the following procedure in order to adjust the valves:Note: Removal of the variable valve actuators is not necessary for these engines.
Put the No. 1 piston at the top center position. See Testing and Adjusting, "Finding Top Center Position for No. 1 Piston" for further details.Note: If the engine is equipped with an engine compression brake, loosen the adjustment 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, "Compression Brake Lash - Adjust" topic in order to adjust the slave piston lash.
With No. 1 piston at the top center position of the compression stroke, an adjustment can be made to the valves.Before any adjustments are made, lightly tap each rocker arm at the top of the adjustment screw. Use a soft mallet to ensure that the lifter roller seats against the camshaft base circle.
Adjust the valve lash on the inlet valves for cylinders 1, 2, and 4.
Loosen valve adjustment locknut (3) .
Place the appropriate feeler gauge (5) between the inlet rocker arm and the inlet valve bridge. Turn inlet adjustment screw (4) while valve adjustment locknut (3) is being held from turning. Adjust the valve lash until the correct specification is achieved. Refer to Table 1.
After each adjustment, tighten valve adjustment locknut (3) while valve adjustment screw (4) is being held from turning. Tighten to a torque of 30 7 N m (22 5 lb ft). Recheck each adjustment.
Adjust the valve lash on the exhaust valves for cylinders 1, 3, and 5.
Loosen valve adjustment locknut (1) .
Place the appropriate feeler gauge (5) between the exhaust rocker arm and the exhaust valve bridge. Turn exhaust adjustment screw (2) while valve adjustment locknut (1) is being held from turning. Adjust the valve lash until the correct specification is achieved. Refer to Table 1.
After each adjustment, tighten valve adjustment locknut (1) while valve adjustment screw (2) is being held from turning. Tighten to a torque of 30 7 N m (22 5 lb ft). Recheck each adjustment.
Remove the timing bolt, and turn the flywheel by 360 degrees in the direction of engine rotation. The position of the No. 6 piston will at the top center on the compression stroke. Install the timing bolt in the flywheel.
Adjust the valve lash on the inlet valves 3, 5, and 6.
Loosen valve adjustment locknut (3) .
Place the appropriate feeler gauge (5) between the inlet rocker arm and the inlet valve bridge. Turn inlet adjustment screw (4) while valve adjustment locknut (3) is being held from turning. Adjust the valve lash until the correct specification is achieved. Refer to Table 1.
After each adjustment, tighten valve adjustment locknut (3) while valve adjustment screw (4) is being held from turning. Tighten to a torque of 30 7 N m (22 5 lb ft). Recheck each adjustment.
Adjust the valve lash on the exhaust valves 2, 4, and 6.
Loosen valve adjustment locknut (1) .
Place the appropriate feeler gauge (5) between the exhaust rocker arm and the exhaust valve bridge. Turn exhaust adjustment screw (2) while valve adjustment locknut (1) is being held from turning. Adjust the valve lash until the correct specification is achieved. Refer to Table 1.
After each adjustment, tighten valve adjustment locknut (1) while valve adjustment screw (2) is being held from turning. Tighten to a torque of 30 7 N m (22 5 lb ft). Recheck each adjustment.
Remove the timing bolt from the flywheel after all valve lash adjustments have been made.Refer to the Testing and Adjusting, "Compression Brake Lash - Adjust" topic for information on adjusting the slave piston lash.Note: The engine valve lash must be adjusted before you adjust the compression brake.The lash must also be adjusted on the electronic unit injector. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Electronic Unit Injector - Adjust" for more information.
