New Specifications for Valve Lash on Engines that Operate at 1200 RPM and at 1500 RPM {1100}

Usage:

G3520C B9P
Generator Set:
G3512E (S/N: SSR1-UP)
G3516C (S/N: TJB1-UP; GZZ1-UP)
G3516E (S/N: GAS1-UP; SLY1-UP)
G3520C (S/N: MAD1-UP; GZK1-UP; GZL1-UP; GZN1-UP; B9P1-UP; HAT1-UP; CWW1-UP; GZJ1-UP)
G3520E (S/N: GZG1-UP; GZH1-UP; HAL1-UP; SXY1-UP)

Description of Change: Specifications for the exhaust valve lash have changed for engines in the above Generator Sets that operate at 1200 RPM and at 1500 RPM. The new specification for valve lash allows for more valve recession without developing a zero valve lash condition.

Adjustments for the valve lash and the bridges must be performed at 1000 hour intervals. A measurement of the valve recession must also be recorded at 1000 hour intervals.

Adaptable To: The new specifications for valve lash are listed below.

Specifications for valve lash on G3500C/E Engines that operate at 1200 RPM and at 1500 RPM

Intake ... 0.38 mm (0.015 inch)
Exhaust ... 1.12 mm (0.044 inch)
