- Ergonomic Color-Coded Handle: Features a double-end plastic handle with distinct color-coding—light blue for intake valves and red for exhaust valves—enabling quick identification and reducing errors, even in dimly lit work environments.
- Specialized Blade Configurations: Includes blades with specific offsets (e.g., 90° and 45°) to navigate the unique valve train layouts of various heavy-duty engines.
- Efficiency in Maintenance: Designed to expedite the valve adjustment process, helping mechanics complete tasks more quickly and accurately.
- Improved Accuracy: The specialized design and clear identification features contribute to more precise valve adjustments, leading to better engine performance and reduced wear.
SPECIFICATIONS:
- Dimensions: 10" X 3.875" X 1"
- Included in the Set:
- Part No. 5469: Double-end plastic color-coded handle
- Part No. 3072: 6" blade with 1" long 90° offset
- Part No. 3074: 3" blade with 5/8" long 45° offset
- Part No. 3075: 3" blade with 1" long 30° offset, and 1/2" of a 0.002" step
HOW TO USE:
- Prepare the Engine: Ensure the heavy-duty truck engine is cool and properly positioned for valve adjustment according to the manufacturer's service manual. This typically involves rotating the crankshaft to bring specific cylinders to their firing or overlap positions.
- Identify Valve Type: Determine whether you are adjusting an intake or exhaust valve.
- Select the Correct Gauge: Using the color-coded handle, select the appropriate feeler gauge blade. The light blue end is for intake valves, and the red end is for exhaust valves. Choose the specific blade thickness required by the engine manufacturer's specifications.
- Insert the Gauge: Gently slide the selected feeler gauge blade between the valve stem tip and the rocker arm. Ensure the offset of the blade (if applicable) aligns correctly to provide accurate measurement.
- Check Clearance: The blade should slide with a slight drag. If it's too loose or too tight, adjust the valve clearance according to the engine manufacturer's procedure until the correct drag is achieved.
- Repeat: Move to the next valve in the specified firing order and repeat steps 2-5 until all valves are properly adjusted.
