Keep all parts clean from contaminants. Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life. |
- Loosen the adjustment screws on valve bridges (4).
- Place clean engine oil on the dowels for valve bridges (4), on the inside diameter of the valve bridges, and on the top buffer of the valve bridges.
- Install valve bridges (4) on the dowels.
- While valve bridges (4) are pushed straight down with a force of
5 to 45 N (1 to 10 lb) , turn the adjustment screw until the screw makes contact with the valve stem. Turn the adjustment screw for an additional 20 or 30 degrees. This will align the valve bridge straight on the dowel. This also compensates for the slack in the threads of the adjustment screw. - Hold the adjustment screw in position and tighten the nut on the adjustment screw to a torque of
30 ± 4 N·m (22 ± 3 lb ft) . - Apply Tooling (A) to the ends of pushrods (4).

NOTICE Ensure that the crankshaft and the camshafts are in time with each other. Also ensure that the adjustment screws in the rocker arms are loosened completely before the bolts on the rocker shaft are tightened or damage to the valves and the pistons may occur.
