Engine Maintenance — Valve Clearance Adjustment (Cont'd) / Drive Belt Check (CD)

MA-51spec table

CD17 and CD20 diesel engine specs; deflection columns distinguish CD17 vs CD20, and CD20 without P/S.

Valve Clearance Adjustment (Cont'd)

  1. 4
    Install selected shim to valve lifter.
    Line drawing showing the valve lifter and shim being removed/installed. A 'Valve lifter' is labeled at top left, 'Shim' at top right with arrows showing the shim removal, and a 'Magnet' tool at bottom left used to pick up the shim.

Drive Belt Check

Drive Belt Check

  1. 1
    Inspect belts for cracks, fraying, wear or oil adhesion. If necessary, replace with new ones.

  2. 2
    Inspect drive belt deflections by pushing on the belt midway between pulleys.
  3. 3
    Adjust belt deflection if it exceeds the limit.
