Re: [diesel_mercedes] Routine Valve Adjustment

 

Well, I did  4 and 12, aint going back to redo. I realized its been a loooooooooooooooooong time and several hip surgeries since I adjusted valves. I had 5 a bit tight, 2 a bit loose and one good.  But with a .004 it aint much difference between not right and right. Gee whiz, I am glad these engines dont have 4 valves per cylinder. Max

I use .004" (intake) and .014" (exhaust) on my engines .

I also use stepped feeler gauges , more accurate and faster too .

The specs are on the sidepost plate or the engine plate. See the 6th or 7th photo on Diesel Giants DIY on valve adjustment. Seems .15 and .35 for temps above 45F on a cold engine.   Mercedes Diesel Valve Adjustment Procedure
