Adjusting order
3 cylinder engine
Check the valve clearances in the injection order of the engine. Injection order is 1 - 2 - 3.
• Check valves in the 1st cylinder, when the exhaust valves of no. 3 cylinder are completely open.
• Check valves in the 2nd cylinder, when the exhaust valves of no. 1 cylinder are completely open.
• Check valves in the 3rd cylinder, when the exhaust valves of no. 2 cylinder are completely open.
4 cylinder engine
• Rotate the crankshaft in the running direction until the valves in the 4th cylinder are rocking (exhaust
closes, inlet opens). Check the valve clearance of the 1st cylinder.
• Rotate the crankshaft by 1/2 of a turn in the running direction so that valves in the 3rd cylinder are
rocking. Check valves in the 2nd cylinder.
• Continue according to the order of injection:
Injection order 1 - 2 - 4 - 3
Valves rock in cyl. no. 4 - 3 - 1 - 2
6 cylinder engine
• Rotate the crankshaft in the running direction until the valves in the 6th cylinder are rocking (exhaust
closes, inlet opens). Check the valve clearance of the 1st cylinder.
• Rotate the crankshaft by 1/3 of a turn in the running direction so that valves in the 2nd cylinder are
rocking. Check valves in the 5th cylinder.
• Continue according to the order of injection:
Injection order 1 - 5 - 3 - 6 - 2 - 4
Valves rock in cyl. no. 6 - 2 - 4 - 1 - 5 - 3
