Multifuel valve adjustment TM?

[LanceRobson]

OK, I've searched for the TM number for this and come up empty. Can anyone please point me to the correct TM for the procedure?

My M35A2C has never been a perky as my other deuces and has a fair amount of discharge from the road draft hose. I'm hoping a valve adjustment will help. The engine only has 6,200 miles on a Depot rebuild and, otherwise, it seems pristine.

Thanks

Lance

Take a look in TM 9-2320-209-34-2-1 for the valve adjustment procedure.

From the TM LDS-465-1A troubleshooting. I just adjusted mine yesterday.
Intake lash .010" exhaust lash .025".
Roll engine till #1 intake valve is at maximum open position. Adjust (1) INTAKE NO. 2, 3, and 6. (2) Exhaust NO. 1, 2, and 4.
Roll engine till #6 intake max open pos. adjust (1) INTAKE NO.1, 4, and 5. (2) EXHAUST NO. 3, 5, and 6.


I am not positive that other LD engines lash is the same(I don't see why it wouldn't be), But above proceedure is same for all 6 banger diesels. COOP

I need to do the valve lash adjustment too. This is my first Deuce so I'm not sure what should sound "normal" but my engine seems to have a lot of valve noise at around 2100-2200 rpm. But other than that everything seems to run well.


Unless that noise is "normal".

Sometimes with those injection pumps you will get a lot of noise also. And it will sound like the rockers!

I set my intakes at .015" instead of .010" because that is a little tite when the engine is fully warmed up and mostly cause RAM taught me this little tidbit. I also have serious engine rattle at 2000 to 2100 on all of my non turbo deuces, I bought my first non turbo cause the previous owner thought the noise meant the engine was gonna go bye bye. I have driven thaat Molly truck 10000 miles since I bought it from him. I suppose there is a harmonic in these motors that causes this rattle but I don't know where. I try to run 1800 to 1900 or 2100to 2200, to miss the rattle, seems to be working so far, 40 trucks, no blown engines

I would agree with setting the clearance a little looser, cause what would you consider a "cold engine" 60 Deg. or 100 Deg.

I also try to avoid that RPM range. That makes me feel better that the rattle is "normal".

A cold engine in NY is about 32 degrees!

Naaaah, it's not really cold unless your fingers stick to the door handle and leave a skin patch.

Thanks for the info everybody. Now I just need to fill my last few deer tags and get back into the shop and out of the wind!

I was told long ago the a motor is not warm until it is at operating temp.
On todays computer controlled crap, the computer will think that way until it gets to 210-220 and some higher. Then it considers it at operating temp.

I know this is a older post but I thought this might help someone. I printed it and laminated it. Its my cheater card for when I’m doing the set.
