You can do this even easier. You only need to put #1 and #6 in overlap. When #1 is in overlap, you can set intake for 3, 5 and 6. Exhaust for 2, 4 and 6. When #6 is in overlap, you can set intake for 1, 2 and 4. Exhaust for 1, 3 and 5. That's it.

I think that got switched up a bit? When #6 is in overlap, you can’t set the intake or exhaust for #6, but instead you can set it for #1? So I think the correct statement would be “When #6 is in overlap, you can set intake for 1, 2 and 4 and exhaust for 1, 3 and 5. When #1 is in overlap, you can set intake for 3, 5 and 6 and exhaust for 2, 4 and 6”. It’s a bit confusing to say the least. To double check, ensure the valves you are attempting to adjust at each overlap are truly loose before you begin the adjustment. I think what we have here is correct.

@@gpwrinkled You are correct, I fat fingered it after an edit. I fixed it by just swapping #1 and #6. It is pretty obvious on the engine, there is no valve clearance on a cylinder in overlap, and the companion cylinder will be ready to adjust on both intake and exhaust. You don't have to bar the engine over to adjust each cylinder like in the 'best method' shown in the video. You also don't need a splined socket for 3rd Gen Rams, at least not the ones I touched. Just a 24mm socket.

As a diesel mechanic with 45+ yrs I've used the valve overlap method any make engine, except NTC Big Cam Cummins which you then adjust valves on one cylinder while you adjust injector on another and NTC Small Cam you would adjust the injector first before you adjust the valves. As long as you know the firing order and the running mate to each cylinder the valve overlap method will keep you from making a mistake

You are literally a god for posting this. I searched for hours the best way to do it, ended up just carefully bumping the key and going to check under the hood. Super long process. Definitely 10/10 doing it this way forever

I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I hope you are in air-conditioning or something😂

Seems like a Genius method to me.

Wow this guy is a smart one!! Thanks I’ll be explaining this to those Cummings guys!!

Give this man a follow! Out here doing the lords work.

Very simple and easy, thank u

I’m going to try this on my 24V, thanks! Liked and subscribed!!

Definitely saving this one. I've done it with the timing pin forever!

Thanks for posting this up brother! I'm about to do this on my early 3rd gen

Great job! The old 855 is the same way!

Thats so awesome

This is how i learned 15 to young 36 to old 24 just right 😂. 153624 well firing order, magic #7. Spot 1 adjust 6 or vise versa spot 6 adjust 1.

This is how I do every valve adjustment on Avery vehicle. Once you know the motor you know when the valve lobe is180 from the lifter

Awesome video and potty mouth is a bonus!

Works on any engine just have to watch the companion cyl.

I like both methods mentioned in the video and the comment both are just as easy. I almost prefer the 124 deal seems faster. But they're both about equal using the overlap method is your safest bet though

@@Fun-under-the-hood it all comes down to which one you learned first 👌

thats the way ive always done it, saves so much time. My question is what'd you do for that downpipe? i tried to high mount my tutbo but could never get the downpipe to fit.

Thats a stainless diesel 2g swap high mount pipe. They have a jig when they make them, perfect fitment every time, def worth the extra $ just to get one from them

I have a 2003 5.9 with 345k miles runs great. I have donde a lot maintenance since I bought it. Valve adjust is next. I have been looking at a ton of vids and by far this is the easiest way. My question is that you just keep turning counter clockwise to move from cylinder 6 to adjust 2? Thank you for the video. 🎉

@JCSDieselPerformance

3 ай бұрын

Yes keep turning and them watch 5s valves to adjust #2 to adjust 5 watch valves on 2

That also work on all V8s when the piston on any cylinder is at the top of exhaust stroke in reverse like the video there is an adjacent cylinder at the top compression stroke with both valves closed on low cam. Thank you for your knowledge and video's USA 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸 TRUMP 2024

How precise on the overlap? Do you watch for just the point where exhaust starts to open??

Yes as soon as it starts to open you're good to go

Is that alternator spline tool you mentioned vehicle manufacturer specific? Or is any generic one suitable for this? Also I’ve found 33 spline and not 36, not sure if that’s what you meant or not

As far as i know they're universal , just type in alternator spline tool on ebay, i also noticed a large allen socket works also i think the one that fits is a 5/8"

I’ve noticed you have headstuds but didn’t mill the rockers? Did you shave down the valve covers?

@JCSDieselPerformance

Block is bottom tapped for these haisley head studs, i always just leave the washers out that go under the pedestal stud nuts, been doing it that way for 10 years now and never had any issues. Valvecovers aren't grinded at all. I recommend bottom tapping your head bolt holes with any 89-current 5.9 or 6.7, this helps decrease upper cylinder distortion and promotes a better ring seal while decreasing wear. Puredieselpower.com sells the correct bottoming tap that isn't chinese BS to make quick work of the job.

I'm not sure this is right, but I'd be stupid to not save this in my watch later videos. Thanks!
