crankshaft balancer is aligned with the notch in the engine front cover tab.
- Look at the number 1 cylinder valves as the crankshaft
balancer alignment mark approaches the notch in the engine front cover tab.
If a valve moves as the alignment mark moves into position, the engine is
in the number 6 firing position. If this happens, turn the crankshaft
clockwise one revolution in order to reach the number 1 cylinder firing
position.
- With the engine in the number 1
firing position, adjust the exhaust valves for cylinders number 1, 3, 4, and
8 and the intake valves for cylinders number 1, 2, 5, and 7.

between your thumb and forefinger until there is no more up and down movement
of the valve push rod.
| 4.3. | When all the valve lash is removed, then turn the valve rocker
arm nut clockwise 1 additional turn (360 degrees). |
