What is the method for adjusting valve clearance in a six-cylinder engine?

Place an appropriate feeler gauge between the rocker arm and the crosshead. Loosen the lock nut on the fuel injector rocker arm until the plunger contacts the injector cup, then tighten it by 15° to expel the oil in the cup. Back off the adjustment bolt by one turn, then use a screwdriver to tighten the adjustment bolt until there is no gap between the fuel injector plunger and the tappet. Follow the engine firing order (1-5-3-6-2-4).
