This task consists of:
a. Adjustment
INITIAL SET-UP:
Tools:
Materials/Parts Required:
Tool Kit, General Mechanics
Gasket (Appendix I, Item 23)
(Appendix B, Section III, Item 1)
Equipment Condition:
Pumping assembly shut down (para. 2.6)
a.
Remove the three socket head screws (1) that secure each valve cover (2). Remove valve cover and gasket (3)
from each cylinder head. Discard gaskets (3).
b.
Lower pulley guard.
NOTE
To adjust valves, piston must be at TDC on the compression stroke.
c.
While holding decompression lever (4) in engaged position, rotate crankshaft (5) until intake valve (6) opens and
closes. Continue to rotate to align timing mark (7) with indicator on shroud (8). Piston should be at TDC on the
compression stroke.
d.
Check intake valve clearance for 0.006 in. (0.15mm) gap. Perform the following steps if adjustment is necessary.
If valve clearance is satisfactory, repeat procedure for exhaust valve (9).
e.
Loosen intake valve push rod retaining nut (10).
f.
Turn push rod adjusting screw (11) to adjust intake valve (6) gap to 0.006 in. (0.15mm).
g.
Hold adjusting screw (11) in position and tighten push rod retaining nut (10).
h.
Check valve clearance to ensure gap remains at 0.006 in. (0.15 mm). If gap has changed, repeat adjustment
procedure.
i.
Repeat procedure for exhaust valve (9).
j.
Repeat entire procedure for both valves in other cylinder head.
k.
Use gasket (3) and three socket head screws (1) to install valve covers (2).
