39 Baby Mack Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Brian Look in this section, under the topic adjusting valves on 676, it will explain the procedure.The only difference is the E6-350 is a 4 valve engine with a dual pointer on the timing gear cover.The first pointer is for timing the injection pump and the second is for adjusting the valves, they should be marked pump and valve.The one for adjusting the valves is second one you come to in normal rotation or the one closest to the top.Ron Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26080-e6-350/#findComment-127562 Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Gday mate. As mentioned above its basically like tuning a 2 valve, turn engine clockwise and line up your position marks on the harmonic balancer puller with the pointer marked 'valves' on the timing cover. 16 thou for intake and 24 for exhaust from memory. On the bridges between valves back of lock nut and adjusting screw, hold weight down on the bridge with your finger, or the rocker, and turn the screw down until it contacts the valve, and turn it an additional 60 degrees(one flat on the nut), then lock iit up. Do that before you set your valve clearance. 1-5-3-6-2-4 is the order. Its easy, good luck. The most difficult part of the job is fitting a spanner up between the front pulley and the radiator cowl!

theakerstwo Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Another way is jack one wheel up and when in highest gear have sme one bump the wheel over with you watching the pointer.
