1.29 JAKE BRAKE
1.29 JAKE BRAKE
The engine brake has been designed to fit on the Series 60 engine with no additional valve cover
spacers. There are three styles of valve covers for the Series 60 engine. On engines equipped
with a two-piece aluminum valve cover, it is NOT necessary to remove the lower valve cover to
install the engine brake. However, one style of upper valve cover may require modification at the
breather housing location (inside) for engine brake clearance.
The model, part number and serial number are located on the nameplates at the top of each
housing. See Figure 1-414.
