Trainings
Preparatory Steps
Note : The timing pin is used to accurately locate TDC
for setting the overhead. The timing pin is typically
located below the fuel pump.
for front gear train engines, in the front gear housing
(shown)
for rear gear train engines, in the rear gear housing (not
shown)
Locate top dead center (TDC) for cylinder number 1 by barring
the crankshaft slowly while pressing on the engine timing pin.
Barring the engine is recommended from the ywheel on the
rear of the engine.
Note : Engine coolant temperature must be less than
60°C [140°F].
Using the barring tool Part Number 3824591, rotate the
crankshaft slowly while pressing on the engine timing pin to
locate TDC for cylinder number 1.
When the timing pin engages in the hole in the camshaft gear,
cylinder number 1 is at TDC on the compression stroke.
CAUTION
To reduce the possibility of engine or timing pin damage, you
must disengage the timing pin after locating top dead center.
Adjust
B3.9, B5.9, and B4.5 Engines
Note : The clearance is correct when some resistance
is “felt” when the feeler gauge is slipped between the
valve stem and the rocker lever.
Note : Caution must be used when setting the exhaust
valve lash on marine cylinder heads with rotators. The
top of the valve stem is slightly recessed below the top
of the valve rotator.

Four-Cylinder Engine Adjustment
Make sure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) for cylinder
number 1.
Set only valves indicated by the arrows (E = exhaust, I =
intake). Do not set valves that are not indicated.
Holding the locknut steady with the wrench, adjust the valve
clearance with the screwdriver or Allen wrench.
Tighten the locknut and measure the valve lash again.
Torque Value: 24 n•m [ 18 ft-lb ]
CAUTION
To reduce the possibility of engine or pin damage, be sure the
timing pin is disengaged.
Mark the vibration damper and rotate the crankshaft 360
degrees.
Adjust the valves as indicated in the illustration.
Torque Value: 24 n•m [ 18 ft-lb ]
Set only valves indicated by the arrows (E = exhaust, I =
intake). Do not set valves that are not indicated.
Six-Cylinder Engine Valve Adjustment
Make sure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) for cylinder
number 1.
Set only the valves indicated by the arrows in the illustration (E
= exhaust, I = intake).
Holding the locknut steady with the wrench, adjust the valve
clearance with the screwdriver or Allen wrench.
Tighten the locknut, and measure the valve lash again.
Torque Value: 24 n•m [ 18 ft-lb ]
CAUTION
To reduce the possibility of engine or pin damage, be sure
timing pin is disengaged.
Mark the pulley, and rotate the crankshaft 360 degrees.
Adjust the valves as indicated in the illustration.
Set only the valves indicated by the arrows in the illustration (E
= exhaust, I = intake). Do not set valves that are not indicated.
Torque Value: 24 n•m [ 18 ft-lb ]
B4.5 RGT Engines
With the engine in this position, lash can be measured on the
following rocker levers:
(E = exhaust, I = Intake)
Four-cylinder 1I, 1E, 2l, and 3E:
Six-cylinder 1I, 1E, 2I, 3E, 4I, and 5E.

Intake 0.152 MIN 0.006
0.381 MAX 0.015
Exhaust 0.381 MIN 0.015
0.762 MAX 0.030
Note : Checking the overhead setting is usually
performed as part of a troubleshooting procedure, and
resetting is not required during checks as long as the
lash measurements are within the above ranges.
Note : The clearance is correct when some resistance
is “felt” when the feeler gauge is slipped between the
crosshead and the rocker lever socket.
Measure lash by inserting a feeler gauge between the
crosshead and the rocker lever socket. If the lash
measurement is out of speci cation, loosen the locknut, and
adjust the lash to nominal speci cations.

CAUTION
To reduce the possibility of engine or pin damage, be sure the
timing pin is disengaged.
Using barring tool, Part Number 3824591, rotate the crankshaft
360 degrees.
Following the same steps and speci cations as previously
stated, measure lash for the following rocker levers:
(E = exhaust, I = Intake)
Four-cylinder 2E, 3I, 4E, and 4I:
Six-cylinder 2E, 3I, 4E, 5I, 6I, and 6E.
Reset if out of speci cation.
