Required Tools
Part Number Description
4447035 Hydraulic Lash Adjuster Gauge
Measure the valve lash between the rocker arm and the valve bridge. Perform the adjustments with the
engine stopped. The valves must be fully closed. To determine whether the valves are fully closed, refer to
Testing and Adjusting, "Finding the Top Center Position for the No. 1 Piston" and Testing and Adjusting,
"Crankshaft Position for Valve Lash Setting".
NOTICE
Incorrect adjustment of the valve bridge and/or of the valve lash can
result in engine damage from these conditions: excessive exhaust
temperatures, incorrect seating of the valves and contact between the
valves and the piston.

(5) Rocker arm
(6) Valve bridge
3. Loosen locknut (3) and adjusting screw (4).
4. Press straight down on rocker arm (5) at the contact point for valve bridge (6). Turn adjusting screw
(4) clockwise until the screw just contacts the valve stem.
5. Tighten adjusting screw (4) for an additional 25 ± 5 degrees in order to straighten the valve bridge onto
the dowel.
6. Hold adjusting screw (4) in position and tighten locknut (3) to 30 ± 4 N·m (22 ± 3 lb ft).
7. Make sure that the valve lash is correct. Refer to "Valve Lash Adjustment".
8. Make sure that Oring seal is in good condition and install the transformer (2) .
9. Make sure that seal is in good condition and Install valve cover (1).
Valve Lash Adjustment
The valve bridge must be adjusted before the valve lash is adjusted.
1. Ensure that the No. 1 piston is at the top center (TC) position. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Finding
the Top Center Position for the No. 1 Piston".
2. Work on the appropriate cylinders that are listed in Testing and Adjusting, "Crankshaft Positions for
Valve Lash Setting".
3. Before you perform any adjustments, use a soft hammer to tap lightly on each rocker arm at top the
adjustment screw. This action will ensure that the lifter roller is seated against the camshaft.

4. Loosen locknut (2) and adjusting screw (3).
5. With light force turn the adjustment screw (3) clockwise until the ball is seated into the cup of the
hydraulic lash adjuster (1). Once contact is made, rotate the adjustment screw (3) clockwise an
additional 360 ± 45 degrees.
6. Hold adjusting screw (3) in place and tighten locknut (2) to a torque of 70 ± 15 N·m (52 ± 11 lb ft).

7. Verify that the setting is correct using the 4447035 Hydraulic Lash Adjuster Gauge (4). The hydraulic
lash adjuster gauge should easily slide around the hydraulic lash adjuster without excessive drag or
slop on the top and bottom of the gauge.
8. Remove the timing bolt from the flywheel housing. Rotate the crankshaft for 360 degrees. Install the
timing bolt in the flywheel housing.
9. With the No. 1 piston in the top center of the opposite stroke, perform Steps 2 through 7 for the
remaining cylinders.
10. Remove the timing bolt from the flywheel housing.
