4. Exert moderate force on the valve yoke by
pressing on the rocker arm slipper end. Turn
the yoke adjusting screw clockwise until it
makes solid contact with the outboard valve
stem tip (a light drag should be felt on the
adjusting screw).
Engines equipped with a J-Tech™ engine brake
will have an actuator pin adjusting screw in the
exhaust yoke.
Do not allow anything to press down on the
actuating pin during adjustment. The pin must be
fully extended, approximately 1/4 inch
(6.350 mm) above the top of the hollow adjusting
screw. If the pin is held down and not fully
extended, an improper adjustment and engine
failure will result.

5. After the adjusting screw makes solid
contact with the valve stem, turn the screw
clockwise an additional 30 degrees.
A 30-degree turn is equal to 1/2 of a flat on the
adjusting screw jam nut.

using torque wrench J 24407, or equivalent.

7. Check the valve yoke adjustment as follows:
a. Insert 0.010-inch (0.25 mm) thickness
gauges between the inboard and
outboard valve stem tips and the valve
yoke.
b. Exert moderate force on the yoke by
pressing on the rocker arm slipper end.
An equal “drag” should be felt on both
thickness gauges. If drag is not equal,
readjust the valve yoke.
