MtAdamsMack Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 You guys have been a big help in the past so here's a new inquiry:Anyone have a way to manually turn an 865 engine, without taking off the radiator and fan, so we can adjust the valves?Thanks.

rsb502 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Isn't there a spot on the bell housing to insert a turning tool?

rsb502 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Or just use a long ratchet and a socket on a crank pulley bolt.

MtAdamsMack Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 I like the jack idea a lot. We ended up cutting a small piece out of the bottom of the fiberglass fan shroud to get a wrench in there though. thanks all Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31613-manually-turn-865/#findComment-189859 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb502 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 One more reason to have an E9, the turning thing is covered in the fan pulley its got holes to put a bar thru it.
