Valve adjustment on 3208 Engine

[Mike Hohnstein]

Get the valve covers off and adjust like any other engine. Exhaust almost open
adjust the intake. Intake almost closed adjust the exhaust. Do one cylinder at
a time. You bump the engine over with the starter so you need to disconnect the
fuel solinoid first, or use a remote button arrangement. Of course Cat has a
different method, but I get by with the old drag racer way.

I haven't done any valve work on the CAT but I have worked on valves
on front engined gas motorhomes. I don't see why the front end needs
to be removed. It looks to me as if only the top and sides of the
dogouse need to be removed to access the valve covers. Perhaps there
is more to a valve lash adjustment on a CAT than I imagine. If so,
could someone explain what else needs to be accessed besides the
valves themselves under the valve covers?
