Typical example
One electronic unit injector is not shown for clarity.
Select an exhaust rocker arm (1). The exhaust rocker arm (1) can be on any cylinder.
Use Tooling (A) to rotate the crankshaft in the normal direction of rotation until the hydraulic lifter starts to open the exhaust valve. Continue to rotate the crankshaft until the valve has opened to the maximum extent. This is the safe position. Note: Make temporary marks on the front pulley and the front housing once the engine is in the safe position.
Ensure that the crankshaft is located in the safe position before the rocker shaft assembly is installed.
