    Valve Adjustment on L4701

    I have passed the 800 hour mark on my L4701. The manual says to do a valve adjustment along with the regular maintenance. I am comfortable performing this task, just curious. I am mostly a gas engine guy. This is the only diesel I have worked on. For those who have been under the valve cover, is...
