Engine valve lash adjustments should be made at
every 2000 hour interval.
Note: Engine valve lash adjustment on new engines
or on reconditioned engines should be made at 500
hours.
Maintenance is recommended by Caterpillar for
engine valve lash adjustments. The maintenance
for engine valve lash is part of the lubrication and
preventive maintenance schedule in order to provide
maximum engine life.
NOTICE
Only qualied
service personnel should perform this
maintenance. Refer to the Service Manual or your
Caterpillar Dealer for the complete engine valve lash
adjustment pr
ocedure.
Be sure the engine cannot be started while this
maintenance is being performed. To prevent pos-
sible injury, do not use the starting motor to turn
the ywheel.
Hot engine components can cause burns. Allow
additional time for the engine to cool before mea-
suring/adjusting engine valve lash clearance.
NOTICE
Operation of Caterpillar Engines with improper engine
valve lash adjustments will reduce the engine efcien-
cy. This
reduced efciency could result in excessive
fuel usage and/or shortened engine component life.
Measure
the engine valve lash with the engine
stopped. To obtain an accurate measurement, allow
at least 20 minutes for the valves to cool to engine
cylind
er head and block temperature.
