6. Engine Valve Lash Adjustment
NOTE: Required every 500 hours (1000, 1500, etc.) on non-emergency.
NOTE
Confirm that #1 piston is on the compression stroke by turning both pushrods by hand to verify
that both valves are closed. The valves are closed when the push rods are loose and can be
turned easily.
Engine can be barred over by installing 8mm-1.25 bolts in the six empty holes around the
crankshaft pulley and using a pry bar to turn the crankshaft.
A. Remove all valve covers.
B. Rotate the crankshaft until the number 1 piston is on the compression stroke and the
timing pointer on the front cover is in-line with the “TDC” mark on the crankshaft
damper. Some engines may have a permanent groove mark on the flywheel for
“TDC”.
