New Inlet Valve Lash Setting{1105}
Usage:
3606 (8RB),
3608 (6MC),
3612 (9RC),
3616 (1PD) Engines
Previously, the intake valve lash was set at 0.5 mm (.020 in). To provide increased intake valve life, the intake valve setting has been changed. On a cold engine (one that has not been running for a few hours), adjust the intake valve lash to 0.6 mm (.024 in). The exhaust valve lash remains at 1.0 mm (.039 in).
NOTE: This change does NOT pertain to G3600 Engines.
