PERFECT (nearly) Valve Lash Adjustment, With NO Wrenches.

Nice tutorial. Like you said consistency is the most important thing. We all feel things differently. I used to drive for a company in Germany and we had a Mercedes factory tech at dealer ship next door. He was close to retirement thirty years ago. He set the valves without a feeler gauge just by feel. We would check him all the time and I don’t think any of us could have done a better job using feeler gauges. 🤣🤣 He was one of a kind and grumpy as hell, but probably one of the best mechanics I had been around.

Really enjoy you videos.

Keep up the good work.

[@AdeptApe]

Cat can definitely eat a valve, just like every engine. I do compare all the adjustments at the end and look for discrepancies between them. I only check them if someone wants them checked first though, takes much longer for me with those floating rocker buttons, can be very difficult to get a feeler gauge in there.

On my engine brake adjustment, best way I remember is. If I adjust the front side (number one). I adjust all the front's. And same on the rear, I adjust the rear (number six), I adjust all the rear side. On EUI's , if I am on number 1, I use my .356 plus my 1 or my .357 pistol. If the rocker arms have been removed. I turn the engine two rounds to seat the valve train in place. And to make sure I didn't screw up and have a bridge get out of place. I also check valves for over lap, just in case flywheel is on wrong.

[@AdeptApe]

One before this one I did had 2 pin holes in the flywheel, I always check for valves opening and closing though and was very confused 🤔. Then figured out that it wasn't truly pinned. Rotated it around some more and then found the correct pin hole. I never thought about the Jake adjustment like that before, but you are right.

I just bought a turning tool the other day as the few times I have needed to turn my 3406E or C15 over I had to use the balancer bolt heads but the fan is in the way so bad and risking cracking the fan blades doing the wrong thing and oh so much fun pinning the engine with no third hand so I devised a way of using a bungee strap to put a little pressure on a bolt used as my pinning device but I see now I need a rounded end as the pinning hole would pass by my bolt way too easy, I was not having fun with that aspect. I've only ran the overhead on the C15 once ( accert so IVA's ) and the instructions I found never made mention about turning the valve or jake adjuster in to push or bleed oil out, well I did that wrong then !. It had an uneven jake sound before I did the overhead and that took care of it so I obviously improved the balance between cylinders. I have a question related to the short torque wrench adapters, is it possible to find decent ones for far less then Snap On price or is that impossible to find as those are specialty tools that not just anyone would carry or make for that matter. I was using the box end wrench to snug it up while holding the adjuster and then was resigned to using a socket for the final torque and rechecking the drag. Also what is the recommended hours or miles between adjustments as my trucks do a lot of idling on the farm but put on few miles and "assume" idling hours don't put the same wear per hour as pulling a load down the road would.

[@AdeptApe]

A lot of info on a comment, but Jakes and compression brakes can be set different depending on the model of Engine, brake and whatnot. Best to check for your specific application. For the torque adapters, check out the video description. There is a really nice Proto set that sells for $130 for a complete set, just click on the link. Cheaper than the Snap on set I have and a more complete set.

I'm always curious how you manage to not move the adjuster when torquing down the lock nut. That's probably the main thing that worries me outside of pinning the engine.

[@AdeptApe]

You have to hold the adjuster t handle or whatever you are using firm when torquing it. If it moves you'll know because when you check the feeler gauge before removing it, it will be too tight or loose.
