Hey Rich, Love the videos. A good tip i learned for setting the Valve lash on an inline 6 motor, which may help you save a bit of time on your Lash jobs, Basically, when you set the Motor to TDC1, Both of the cylinder 1 valves are on their base circle, In addition, The intake valves on Cylinders 2 and 4, and the Exhaust Valves on 3 and 5 are also on their base circles, so you can adjust those at the same time. The Name we used to remember it was "Intake Exhaust, Intake, Exhaust, Intake, exhaust" when counting cylinders 1-5 (or backwards from 6-2 when you are on TDC6) and it makes it possible to complete the valve adjustment while only having to change position to rotate the engine twice. (this mostly came in handy while working in Busses or RV's where you could not rotate the engine and access the Valves without having to get out of the bus) Keep up the good Debauchery

[@samjohnson1676]

Additionally, if you use the alternator bolt to rotate the engine, Turn in Counter Clockwise (backwards) to load up the belt tensioner and prevent slippage

[@_sneer_]

On a 4 cylinder engine, if you set no. 1 piston at TDC at the end of compression stroke you can do no. 1 exhaust and intake, no. 2 exhaust and no. 3 intake valves. Turn the engine 360 degrees (1 full turn) and now no. 4 piston is at compression tdc and you can do no. 2 intake, no. 3 exhaust and no. 4 intake and exhaust.

[@Eger7law011]

Is this true for the vw tdi 1.9l ALH

[@_sneer_]

@@Eger7law011 yup

[@TonysGarage-tx8rt]

I have an 81 Isuzu diesel C223 engine and the manual says with #1 cylinder at TDC compression to do no. 1 exhaust and intake, no. 2 intake, no. 3 exhaust. At TDC #4 cylinder do no. 2 exhaust, no. 3 intake, no 4. intake and exhaust.

[@_sneer_]

@@TonysGarage-tx8rt is the firing order of that engine 1-2-3-4?

Great video on the procedure simple and easy ... more curious on a method of determining firing order and what chamber corrosponds to what firing number ... in an arbitrary manner without the aid of the ignition coil pack or distributor spark plug boot numbers

[@burkey426]

Could you do a video on changing Valve springs on a 12 Valve? Would love to hear your thoughts on 60lb springs and Hamilton conical springs.

[@cyneater6300]

Thanks for this everyone else gets way over technical etc I spent the last 12 min reading watched your video and it all makes sense

[@til159]

easy way to remember which cylinder you have to set, you always have to come to one more than you engine has. So if you got a 6 Cylinder you have to get to 7, if number 3 is in between exhaust and air intake you have to set 4 (4+3=7) same for 4 you have to get to 5 so if 1 is cutting cylinder 4. Sry for my bad english hope you understand it

[@eternalbeing3339]

Your Cummins videos are really helpful man. Wish you would release more of them or make them longer.

[@177SCmaro]

You could also find top dead center on the compression stroke on number one (often I take a really long zip tie and put it down the spark plug or injector hole. Most engines have a timing mark on the front of the engine to find TDC on the compression stroke to reference engine timing), adjust both valves, because this is a 6 cylinder, turn the crank 120 degrees (one third of a revolution) and follow the firing order. In this case cylinder 5 will be at top dead center on the compression stroke and all the valves will be closed. Same for a V8 except you turn the engine 90 degrees at a time. 180 degrees for a 4 cylinder and so forth. Take the number of cylinders, divide by 2 (because these are 4 stroke engines) and then take 360 (number of degrees an engine rotates) and divide it by that number. So, 6 cylinders/2= 3. 360/3=120. There maybe faster or easier ways to do it, but this way you know for sure you're on the base circle of the cam and all valves will be adjusted in 2 (or less) rotations of the engine.

[@rosibelrodriguez7766]

[@terryeffinp]

I have found that almost all 6 cylinder engines can be set as follows. When the #1 cylinder is on TDC, you can adjust intake valves 124 and exhaust valves 135. Rotate the engine 360 degrees, now you can set intake valves 356, and exhaust valves 246. On engines that require the injectors to be adjusted you either need to adjust them as you bar the engine, some types of injectors you can set half of them on #1tdc and the other half on #6tdc.

[@ethiopia7032]

Excellent ..... simply

Thanks Rich, its a great video. This is very interesting. I hired someone to come do a valve lash on my Toyota dyna 13B engine, when started it was pushing smoke through the air manifold, i know some settings not right. Could you please advise how i can correct this.

[@roshanadhikari9162]

This is a great video. However, I have a question and would greatly appreciate it if someone could help. We adjust the valves when the rocker arms have a little bit of free play. I use a filler gauge to adjust the valve clearance with the arm pulled away from the valve in its free play, and when I remove the gauge the arm goes down and touches the valve at a point (the gap looks good at most points though). Is this fine or should the clearance be adjusted when the rocker arm is nearest to the valve in its free play? I have a single cylinder if it is important.

[@AllNightTNT]

Roshan Adhikari I’m wondering the same thing. Maybe we’re being neurotic but on this motor I do also notice how the rocker arm sides a bit from side to side and the clearance changes by a small amount. So which position of rocker arm do you adjust for

[@mrandrewdennis1]

Great video as usual. Keep up the great work.

Great video! Just a question on our Ford 220 diesel ; it says the firing order is 1243 different than your so what would be the valve set for our engine? It also says valve clearance inlet hot .015 in. and exhaust hot .012 in. so why would they say "hot" in the service manual? So how would I set the gap cold? Thanks for the help

[@tomj337]

As an alternative could I get the valves rocking then rotate the engine 360’ meaning the engine would be between its compression and power stroke?

[@rozario6700]

Hi Rich, a very good video with such detailed educative info. I do have. one question though. and would REALLY, REALLY appreciate your replying soonest, PLEASE. To set the valves for a manual (stick shift) diesel 4 cylinder, should the vehicle be in neutral or do you need to engage a higher gear? Also, is it possible to run the engine with the valve cover open? My vehicle. needs valve adjustments when warm. PLEASE help. Thank you

Most engines are right hand rotation! Which means when viewed from the flywheel end, not the fan end, it will turn clockwise. DO NOT be fooled by the fan…. Depending on how the belt is oriented the fan may not turn in the same direction as the crankshaft.

[@TSA507]

I've got a 4bt in a f150 and trying to adjust the valve lash correctly. When describing the firing order 1342 is 2 the front cylinder nearest radiator? or is 1? I want to be sure I'm positioning the numbers to the correct cylinders instead of getting it backwards. By the looks of it when you were explaining ''rotating the engine by hand'' (on the 6BT) I seen that 4 is the front cylinder but I had to replay the video multiple times to make sure I had the firing order lined up with the cylinder positions. Just want to be sure I've got it right and I am understanding correctly. Thanks for the videos keep them up!

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

Cylinder 1 is closest to the rad and 4 is closest to the transmission

[@surfreadjumpsleep]

so do all pre 2000 diesels need to set valve lash? I thought hydraulic tappets made this adjustment a thing of the past. I guess not?

[@johnplatten8793]

That's why you do a hot tune up when everything it at operating temp so everythjng is expandi and free and loose

[@sam111880]

curious is there a general procedure to determine firing order of any type of engine like V , inline ,....etc... I have simple methods to get any chamber to TDC or BDC but actually finding out the firing order and what corrosponds to chamber 1 ,2,3,4...etc of an arbitrary engine is difficult for me still

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

Usually the firing order is stamped in either the head or a manifold.

Hey Dirty rich my 5.9 is making a ticking noise that is loudest when driving but still audible when reved in neutral and with clutch depressed. It is mostly heard through the 4 by 4 selector.

looking for a lil info I just picked up a 06 common rail , im about to set the valves , my question is , the engine has a weird fluttering sound at low rpm hard to explain but it goes away once the boost comes in , I've heard this lots on 6.7's but not on a 5.9 , this is my first common rail . any tips would be great . lol I'd bring it to you but I'm pretty far away

[@cobrar5161]

i adjusted mine car valves in exactly the same way you described but it's still making the clicking sound could it be because i have used gauges which were .3mm less than the specification or it is because of the new adjusting screws i have put in,some one had told me that the new screws make clicking sound for some time till their running period is complete.

Hello thanks for the videos! Can you simply let your engine come up to temperature and set the valves to 0 clearance so that when it cools down the correct clearance will be set? I have a Ford Transit 2.5di mk5 and I have adjusted the valves to the correct positions as per the manufacturers recommendation They where all tight, the engine is now louder then before. Annoying!

Question: I drive a Nissan Navara/frontier 2.5 diesel from 2008. Is it possible to set those valves as well? You are talking about diesels from 2000 and down so that's why I'm asking.

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

+cedicol The easiest way to know is pop off your valve cover. If there is a lock nut with an adjustment screw, then they are adjustable. If there is no adjustment screw, then it will have a hydraulic lifter. As of yet, I have not seen a hydraulic lifter on a diesel but that is just my experience.

[@cedicol]

+DEBOSS GARAGE When I find the time a'l take them off to take a look. I'll keep you posted.

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

+cedicol if you have a fill cap on the cover, you can take a look with a mirror or a camera and look for the adjuster

[@cedicol]

+DEBOSS GARAGE Apparently they are adjusted with shims. you can adjust them by changing those shims but it's not usual to do that. once they are set they are set.

Now why when I cold start my 12 valve it is fairly quiet for a couple minutes until it starts to warm up a little, then it starts to get a little noisier kind of like an injector pulse knock. Im not sure what the little noise is, but its a little concerning

[@TakeDeadAim]

There's some bad info here. First, the gap is there to correctly time the valves duration. Yes, that gap does erode with temp BUT it does NOT come close to closing a 10thou and certainly not 20thou distance. In reality there's really not a whole lot of difference...maybe a couple of thou at most...between hot and cold iron. IF you want to remain consistent, keep a magnet nearby and drag the feeler on it then set the valve. Aim to get that drag every single time.
