Hi everyone.
I installed a new head on my charger.
I have to adjust the valves.
I inserted the bolt in the flywheel, and the pistons 1 and 4 are completely up, flush with the block.
I recorded these 2 pistons, valves completely closed and with the thickness gauge I measured the clearance of 0.68 exhaust and 0.38 inlet.
How can I adjust the central pistons 3, 4?
THANK YOU

hello I thank you.
I didn't understand.
on the flywheel I removed the cap 4h6112, I inserted the bolt.
Pistons 1 and 4 have risen to the top. the central pistons went down.
I reassembled the used head and the valves. In the piston 1 the valves were crushed, I unscrewed and brought them closed ... I did the same with the last piston.
I don't understand anything ... I'm doing old magnet wrong?
I'm afraid of making trouble

You have to follow the adjustment sequence. You can't adjust piston 1 and 4 at the same time.

Make sure you are at #1 piston top dead center not #4.
Installing the bolt at #1 TDC is where you start the adjustments.
When the #1 TDC position valve adjustments are done, rotate the crankshaft one full turn to where you could insert the bolt with #4 at TDC.
Complete the adjustments for the #4 TDC position and you are done.

If you don't understand get some help from someone who knows engines.

Don't guess if you don't know as severe engine damage can occur if you get it wrong.

Ok I'll try.
When I set the valves in the order you told me, they must be completely closed, right?
ps. piston dead center 1, and when it's completely up, right?
Piston 1 is the one near the flywheel, right?

I'll let you know tomorrow.
THANK YOU

Yes, valve should be closed for adjustment.
#1 is at the front of the engine.
To check when done put #1 piston at TDC again. Both intake and exhaust should be closed.

Hello .
I set the valves in the correct order. They were almost already ok.
I made minor corrections.
I reassembled everything else except the exhaust manifold.
I discovered that piston 1 does a lot of gray smoke, all the others don't smoke almost anything.
I practically didn't solve the problem.
The engine sounds exactly like before.
What could I check?
The Valves are new.
If I accelerate suddenly it almost drowns and makes a lot of smoke.
Maybe you remember the videos I put on.
Thanks you

Have any of the pump units been removed and replaced in the injection pump?

It's quite easy to reinstall them out of time with the rack. This results in strange sounds and lots of black smoke. If the manifold is installed already, the test for which one is wrong is to loosen each injection pipe connection in turn until the strange noise and smoke stops.
D2-5J's, D6-9U's, D318 and D333 power units, 12E-99E grader, 922B & 944A wheel loaders, D330C generator set, DW20 water tanker and a bunch of Jersey cows to take care of in my spare time😄

No pump quadrants and rack involved here, this unit has sleeve metering injection. I hope the sleeve adjustments haven't been messed with as it take some special equipment to time these units.
