This video goes into detail about how to do a complete C15 or 3406 Valve Adjustment Overhead . Includes the Valves, Injector Height, and Jake adjustments. IVAs and VVA adjustment are also discussed. The proper way to pin the engine and what sequence are all shown in this video. Comments and questions can be left in the comments section. Did this video help you save time or money? @AdeptApe on Venmo or AdeptApe@yahoo.com on PayPal for donations, thank you so much for supporting the channel!
Being highly informed on a subject is one thing...but being able to relay that information in a fashion the average layman can understand is a HUGE other thing. You have both and that makes you a master at teaching. What a rare gift. I don't nor ever have had a diesel engine, but have always had a deep curiosity about them. You are a great instructor.
+johnnyohness Thank you, I'm surprised how many people that don't own these engines watch videos about them. Thanks for watching them.
you probably dont care at all but does someone know a method to log back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb forgot the login password. I would love any tips you can give me!
@Myles Zayd Instablaster :)
@Aron Jaxxon Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Aron Jaxxon it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much, you really help me out!
I don’t even own a Cat. I own a Series 60 but I do appreciate the time & effort that goes into making these videos. Thanks again.
One important point you forgot to mention is
"cold settings", meaning run the overhead when the engine is completely cool, room temperature, not after you ran all day and want to get it done so you can have the weekend off,, you know what I mean,,
Thanks for all the great videos, people would save a lot of money by subscribing to your channel, and if a tool cost a hundred dollars just buy it,, you'll pay more than that to pay somebody to do the job and you have the tool forever, that's a no-brainer to me
Thanks again, you saved me thousands with all the information you give out
Spot on!👊🏻🇺🇸
Your knowledge and dedication to great instruction is highly appreciated, I have never encountered another master mechanic with your ability to teach. Thank you 👍🏻
blow him already holy
I did the overhead adjust on my 3406E thanks to this video...
You are awesome I watch every single video u post...
Here in Costa Rica is too expensive and hard to find good CAT mechanics...

Had to do this today at school and ur video helped alot thank u 💪🏾
Hey Josh, thanks for all the info. I just had my overhead run by a mechanic. I trust him, but there is a slight vibration now.
I think im going to run it myself. I have less experience but I care more.
This video is very thorough and I feel confident.
Thanks again.

I focus to watch video to adjust a
Valve clearance, and Injectors very quick and carefully. This time another more income in my knowledge and additional my per
sonal, experience in this day. Thank
you.
Thank you for your Good Information im really appreciated to teach our mechanics im watching from Saudi Arabia and God Bless you
I loved doing ‘06E/C15 tune ups for side work. So quick and easy. 30-45 minutes of work, $150 cash in the pocket.
Thank's for your job, you make for many people life easier.
Wow. This is the best. Made it so even a newbie can figure it out.
Great video! I performed my overhead last weekend. Big improvement in performance, it had been a while.
I’m doing mine this weekend. It’ll be a first time for me.
About to install a new head on a MXS C15. I have the CAT Service Manual, but you are the "CAT Man" in my book and it's great to have you as a resource! Thanks a ton for your channel! (and thanks for the IVA info at the end there)
Glad you like the videos and information.
Awesome vid, I don't work on diesels just run them. Nice to get a better understanding on how they work. Cheers
+STEVE ROB Thank you very much.
As a mechanic knowing how something works is the key. Steve you might have mechanic in your blood lol .
Billy Adams Haha well I have a good understanding of gas engines but diesel has always interested me , I have 3 diesels and they never break. My farm tractor might break down one day and I like to have a clue what I'm doing. 30 years at GM building trucks just don't cut it. LOL
Thanks, gave me the confidence to do the adjustment on my NXS. Please keep making these great videos.
Thanks Jerry, really appreciate. You can always email me at AdeptApe@yahoo.com as well. Have a great day.
I really appreciate it. and I'll definitely B messaging you again with the results thanks again!
very informative, thank you, I appreciate the information greatly,
Great job on all your posts
Good demonstration. Thanks you for your presentation
thanks for your great teaching of this technical work,i did my overhead on my 3406e thanks to you.
+Filemon Nunez Thanks for watching.
To a mechanically inclined person like myself, this video was way over explained 😂 but you did a great job of explaining it to a first time mechanic 👍👏👏
Thank you very much for this video im learning alot from u keep up the good work thamks again
Great knowledge give us by you boss more thankful ur every word
Thank you for the video. It was very clear. I appreciate it.
I did the overhead on my truck 3406e 1lw by my own by watching your video... it went good I think... it was a year ago
Thank you very much sir ape for your information.. About overhead adjustment.... God blezz to your family...
Thank you for the explanation on this. I'd also like to have the same information on a 4 cylinder if possible
Awesome video, great info if someone knows what there looking for!
Thanks for the much needed information
+Fred Fabian You are welcome sir.
thanks for the reply and I'll try that thank you
Thank you for the video, as a fellow cat employee this really helped me out!
Another great video. I ve been waiting on this topic too. I did my overhead adjustments on my 2WS but it seems to have been running rough lately. I ll follow your technique in doing the overhead this time. Thanks again for your videos and will contribute to you making more videos.
Thanks for the comment. A 2WS should be very similar as the engine in this video. Hope you have success. Inspect your camshaft too while you have the valve covers off if you have a rough running engine.
@@AdeptApe How often should this be done?
@@Alex0992 I was told that a valve set should be done at least every 1200 engine hours My company truck is a 6nz c15
@@AdeptApe Hey Adept. I am here in Washington somewhat close to you. I have a 06 379 with the compound turbo set up c15. Boost has been low 30-32 and today wouldnt get over 25 psi. It is suppose to be set to a 550hp. My father has had the truck for 9 years now and the overhead has not been done. Can that be causing these issues?
Tanks for the info... your the best
Thanks for ur great informational vids
Its verry good explaination i really like it..
Amazing video. Keep an coming
one of the best tutorials
+Agui Amiour Thank you.
Thanks and keep up. doing good job.
What a great video!!
Just bought my first truck, Pete with a 6nz, two weeks later had an injector go. I've got a good bit of mechanical knowledge but your videos helped me keep the truck on the road. Appreciate you sharing the specs and procedures!
+Edward Gorsegner Glad the videos helped. Thanks for watching.
Thank you very much very practical for me that video
I need to know the bolts torque to valve cover base for C15 MXS
You The Man( Awesome Cool Video)

Good job on the video...
Great job.
Good. And thanks for th informations
I had a friend of mine make me a barring tool for turning the flywheel it works quite well, and all it cost me was the steel.
excellent info
perfect thank you
Thank you！
I have a 92 3406c Peep engine. I would find it quite informative if you would include this engine in one of your videos. I find all your videos very informative. Thanks
I had my jack leaking oil up ward so is that repaired or I have to change newer? Please reply. Thanks for your all Best video's
Thank you malem
Thank you
really nice video real good info i was scrolling thru videos and adept ape came out and so far im really liking your content real good videos i was wondering if you had one where you show how to set the back lash on the cam timing gear and the idler gear? thanks hope to hear back from you
+Hector Lopez It will be getting made, most likely on the next C15 rebuild.
Awesome. Thanks
Thanks sir very appreciate
Wow on the teaching
Awesome video.
+Charles James Thank you.
Hats off , I watched the video and read comments, and found answer to my problem.. c-15 mxs oil pressure runs from 40 psi to 60 psi depending on RPM 1200 = 40 psi 190degree temp each 100 rpm increase 5 psi in oil pressure It's Kenworth 06. I need oil pump or something else , i ask CAT dealer at last service they said CAT has no set oil PSI could be anywhere 40 to 80 psi but when i found concept u showed main bearings then question is why my oil psi is changing according to RPMs and engine temp , NO Contamination oil sample is good.. please advise
Great thanks I was concerned about the wiring for the throttle,cruise dash panel etc. I plan of finding a used rv one
+2010panel The wiring for all the RV inputs run into your P1 connector going to the ECM, so it should connect right to the ECM. Some parameters might have to be programmed, but the wiring shouldn't change.
your very good help bro. Keep it up!!!
would this work for a c13 as well?
+anthony alvarez The principles are the same however on a C13 you need to check for what the Jake's and valve adjustment if I remember right the intake and exhaust are 15/25 and there is no injector height tool, you just take the adjuster until it contacts then 1/2 turn more, then set the locknut.
Great thanks
I like your video very good
I need explain for this firing oder 142635 please
Thanks for your reply , yes I meant by overhead adjustments I just got is done at toromount Cat and I doubt they did not took 3rd cover out did not open the screws for one under breather air hose close to firewall., I am sure for that and if it had to open and i am going to talk with them, why
Thanks for a Great Video!., In my case I am looking at a 300,000 mile overhead re-set to be done after a engine rebuild., but is't there a inspection done on all the overhead springs before starting the task of performing the overhead?., Also in my case I have weak jakes on my MBN C-15 and frankly not sure if it's an adjustment issue or a broken jake spring?.,
Adept Ape, on a C15 with VVA’s, going to make a timing pin. Is it a 5/16” bolt or 3/8” bolt and how long? See where some say the longer bolt from the barring tool plate is used. Do I need to cut the threads off as well? Thanks

I focus to watch the video.
How to adjust valve clearance and
Injectors clearance. I personal watch
A video very carefully. My additional personal experience in in this day.
Great video I'm rebuilding the head of my 2010 Volvo d11 maybe you could help I need the cam torque specs my other is on the cam balancer it won't let me adjusted to gap 10 with a filler gauge thanks
Wanting to do a valve adjustment on a 3208 in my rv... diesel pusher. Do I need to pin the fuel pump? And since engine is backwards, how do I find number 1 cylinder? Thanks for your help. . Chris
I have injector height tool, but find it more accurate to put injector at full downward plunge then adjust injector needle to bottom out and back off 3/4 turn, on detroit 60. I do this because I'm concerned about differences in the block and compression of the bottom graphite gasket carbon sealer, and injectors
I have a bxs that keeps sending the low oil pressure code I have replaced the iva and the updated plug for solenoid but still the same. Any more ideas. I dont see any leaks while engine is running and valve covers are off
You sir make very helpful videos, thank you! Recently became an owner/operator of a ....shall we say lemon?!?! I have worked through a lot of it but it does need an overhead run. Is this info the same for the C 16?
thanks. Can you please give me some advise with a 3508 B-DITA-SCAC (760KW) regarding valve and injector adjustment which one I can adjust after pin the engine in TDC Cyl.1 and after pin when turning 360 degrees Cyl.8? Best regards and thanks in advance for your support.
Hey so I just installed a camshaft on a c-15 6nz … just wondering when I install my rocker shafts and injectors and set the clearances do I set it for compression stroke on #1 when my camshaft gear is lined up with the timing mark ??
Awesome video how long does that job usually take on like a 1989 34 0 6 b?
good thanks.
thnx
What about adjusting on SDP engines ?
Any significant difference to doing an overhead adjustment on a C13? Our 2006 Country Coach Intrigue motorhome has a C13 w/120,000 miles. Wondering if we should do an overhead?
Good video, my pinning hole was wobbled out, I asked a few guys about that and they figured someone started it with the pinning tool or bolt in it after the adjusted it, so I took the timing cover off because it could be off a tooth on either side, I always get the fun ones lol
That sucks, we had an apprentice so that a couple weeks ago. Luckily the bolt didn't break, it bent the pinning bolt into an S shape, but it came out with no damage to the engine.
@@AdeptApe talk about getting lucky ! Oh the crazy things a guy runs into working on cars to trucks to heavy equipment. Things that make you go grrrr.
I know this is probably a stupid question but... do you back the Jake’s and IVA’s off before you do your intake and exhaust? And if so... how much? 🤔 I heard that you can damage the piston in the IVA’s by going too far in either direction. I own an NXS
How you doing my friend just want to say my hats off to you you're pretty intelligent man just wondering if you can tell me how I can check if my valve didn't drop cuz it's too jam nuts came loose the guy who ran the rack on my truck pretty much did it on purpose so I just want to know how to check the valve so I can put the valve bridge on it broke the jam on the valve bridge I would appreciate it thank you sir have a wonderful day
exllent video
What oil temperature should a 3406 or C15 read ? I changed from analog to digital and the digital and its showing a higher temperature
This is perfect! Can you do a C-12? Just got my first CAT😎 (Might make a C-16 my next one lol)
Hi adept ape small question does the overhead needs complete adjustment after replacement of my head including the injectors as the mechanic is only adjusting the valves and says injectors don't need to be adjusted as they have not been replaced what do you say?
Hi I'm very thankful tobu for such awesome video. U r doing a great for newcomers like me
Sir do we set each Jack with setting of each exhaust valve?
Smart man
hi bro I have a question i going to put a new camshaft on my c15 but freightliner give me a different # that what I got my # is 139-0538
and they give me a 3327307 they said is those two # are for the same motor . what you thing?
A lot of great videos you have! This one is not an exception. I own an 05'KW acert C-15 engine & I never did a valve adjustment on mine. It has almost one million miles on it. One of the reasons I didn't do it because it's hard to find a great cat mechanic. Where is your truck shop located at? I would like so much to have you look at my engine & help me keep it alive for as much as possible. Thank you much!
+Max V I don't disclose where I work at I'm sorry. I am on the West Coast though so maybe you'll find me on accident.
We are all good! No problem.
@@AdeptApe you wouldn't happen to have a used injector/Jake harness and a couple of the retainers n bolts for solenoids for a 1999 3406e 2ws engine by chance? If so maybe a driver could by it fairly respectable
Just did my first valve set on a 6nz our shop just rebuilt... Completely different from a Cummins valve set eh..
Haha, my CAT 15 is a Flathead, 1930.
