How to Adjust the Valves on a 6-Cylinder Diesel Engine?
1 Answers
Open the cylinder head cover and rotate the crankshaft. Observe the movement of the valves in the 6th cylinder. When the intake and exhaust valves exhibit overlapping movement, it indicates the exhaust top dead center (TDC) of the 6th cylinder. Based on the engine's firing order, once the piston of a specific cylinder is determined to be at the compression top dead center position, you can proceed to adjust the intake and exhaust valve clearances for that cylinder.
