    Does anyone have a step by step on doing a overhead on AC-15 ? I've adjusted valves on cars but never one of these, specs, procedures, would be great. Thanks

    rotate engine to top dead center pin flywheel. intake valves 1-2-4 at .015 gap. exhaust 1-3-5 at .030 gap. jakes 1-3-5 at .033. rotate engine one full turn and pin flywheel and do intake valves 3-5-6 at .015 gap exhaust 2-4-6 at .030 gap. jakes 2-4-6 at .033 button it up and drive. that is if this is a single turbo cat c-15.

    ok it's an a-cert you will have to adjust the vva's also. i will look in my book and see what order you do them in. but the adjustment i posted still applys to everything else.except mxs or nxs the jakes are set at .027 bxs set at .033.
