1. Place the machine in service position, see Safety rules when servicing.

2. Remove the engine hood, see Engine hood, removing

3. Remove the valve cover.

4. Remove the protective cover on the flywheel housing and install 9993590, an extension and a ratchet handle.

5. Turn the flywheel with 9993590 until the nearest dash marking on the camshaft is between the marks on the bearing
cap.
NOTE!
The number matches the cylinder for which the inlet and exhaust valves are in correct position for adjusting.

NOTE!
Cylinder 1 is closest to the engine timing gear.

Figure 2
Camshaft marking
NOTE!
Some engines have camshafts with double marking according as shown. In these cases, adjust inlet va lves, exhaust
valves, and unit injectors on the cylinder that corresponds to the number marking in front of the E- marking.

adjusting.

6. Loosen the lock nut on the rocker arm and adjust to correct valve clearance according to Valve system, specification
and tighten the lock nut. Tightening torque: see Valve mechanism, tightening torques

8. Check - measure the valve clearance according to Valve system, specification.

NOTE!
Before checking the double rocker arm's clearance, check that the exhaust valve clearance is correc t according to Valve system,
specification.

Checking, double rocker arm (IEGR)

9. Loosen the drain nipple and drain the double rocker arm from air and oil.

10. Insert the go-side of 88820003 between the double rocker arm's contact surface and the camshaft's basic circle. The
checking tool must be able to pass between the contact surface and the camshaft, if the IEGR-"lift" is not too great.

 11. Insert the stop-side of 88820003 between the double rocker arm's contact surface and the camshaft's basic circle. The
checking tool ust not be able to pass between the contact surface and the camshaft. If it does, the IEGR-"lift" is too
small.

12. If the go-side of the gauge passes between the double rocker arm's contact surface and the camshaft's basic circle and
if the stop-side does not, the clearance for the double rocker arm is correct. If not, the double rocker arm must be
ad usted as follows.

piston with an llen head wrench.

1 . Insert 88820003 between the double rocker arm's contact surface and the camshaft's basic circle. Screw on the piston
with an llen ke so that ero clearance is obtained between the double rocker arm, the ad usting tool and the
camshaft.

ero clearance means that the ad usting tool does not slide smoothl between the double rocker arm and the camshaft.
