Adjustment values in mm
Engine Intake valve Exhaust valve Tolerance range 1)
1) The tolerance range for all valves applies only when checking the valve clearance.
If the valve clearance is outside of the tolerance range always adjust to specified value.

Notes
Adjust valve clearance with engine cold (wait at
least 30 minutes after shutting off engine, even if
only operated for short time).
Turn engine in normal direction of rotation with
special tool.
Clean extremely dirty cylinder head covers before
removing.

Method 1 - Adjusting each cylinder separately
according to injection sequence.
Turn engine until piston for cylinder to be
adjusted is precisely at top dead center of
compression stroke. The valves must be closed
and the tappet rods must be easy to turn. This
position is reached when the valves for the
cylinder with synchronously running piston
overlap (see table, page 0560.20 /2).

Setting valve clearance
Note
It is only necessary to correct valve clearance if
it is outside the tolerance range (+0.20 mm or -
0.10 mm.
