Problem:
Some of the "Systems Operation, Testing & Adjusting" manuals (Form SENR6508 dated June 1994) are incorrect. Also, some of the "Specifications" manuals (Form SENR6507 dated June 1994) are incorrect. Manuals printed between June 1994 and November 1994 have an incorrect value for the exhaust valve lash setting and checking dimensions. Newer printings have been corrected but the manual date remains June 1994.
Solution:
Please check all manuals used in your shops or AMD's for the correct data shown on both pages 7 & 61 of the "Systems Operation, Testing & Adjusting" manual and page 10 of the "Specifications" manual.
The correct exhaust valve lash settings are shown in the chart below:
