82409M Mariner BOLT

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.
The connection of any electrical equipment and the disconnection of any electrical equipment may cause an explosion hazard which may result in injury or death. Do not connect any electrical equipment or disconnect any electrical equipment in an explosive atmosphere.
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.

0.76 mm (0.030 inch)    Adjust the valve lash while the engine is stopped. Use the following procedure in order to adjust the valves:
Put the No. 1 piston at the top center position.Note: See Testing and Adjusting, "Finding Top Center Position for the No. 1 Piston" for further details.
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's base circle.
Make an adjustment to the valve lash on the inlet valves for cylinders 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 12 by using the 194-2062 Valve Adjusting Tool Gp .
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 3.
After each adjustment, tighten valve adjustment locknut (3) while valve adjustment screw (4) is being held from turning. Tighten to a torque of 47 9 N m (35 7 lb ft). Recheck each adjustment.
Make an adjustment to the valve lash on the exhaust valves for cylinders 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, and 12 by using the 194-2062 Valve Adjusting Tool Gp .
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 3.
After each adjustment, tighten valve adjustment locknut (1) while valve adjustment screw (2) is being held from turning. Tighten to a torque of 47 9 N m (35 7 lb ft). Recheck each adjustment.
