Measure Valve Lift.
Measuring valve lift can give an indication of excess wear on cam lobes, followers, and/or pushrods.
CAUTION
For a more accurate measurement, it is recommended that valve lift be measured at 0.00 inch (0.00
mm) rocker arm to-valve tip clearance.
a.
Remove valve cover, refer to paragraph 3-31.1.
b.
Using center bolt on harmonic balancer, rotate crankshaft clockwise and observe No. 1 pushrods. When both
pushrods can be rotated freely engine is on compression stroke. Continue to rotate engine until timing pin (JDE-
81-4) can be installed in flywheel, refer to FIGURE 3-117.
