What is the valve adjustment sequence for a four-cylinder diesel engine?
1 Answers
The valve adjustment sequence for a four-cylinder diesel engine is 1-3-4-2. Effects of too small or too large clearance: If the valve clearance is adjusted too small, the valve will not close tightly, resulting in decreased engine power. If the clearance is adjusted too large, it will increase the number of impacts on the distribution mechanism components, accelerating wear, and also cause delayed valve opening, leading to reduced engine performance. Reason for adjustment: The valve clearance of the engine also affects its performance. If the valve clearance is too small or non-existent when the engine is cold, it will cause abnormal engine operation when hot, so proper adjustment is necessary.
