Cummins Engine Calibration
1. Objective: Establishes the procedure for calibrating engine valves, the appropriate use to perform
valve calibrations carried out by engine service technicians.
2. Scope: Competence corresponding to technicians and higher categories in the application of
engines and machinery: Cummins and Komatsu of all models.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Adjustment of valves, injectors, and engine brake should be done
using the values listed in this section.
Adjust engine valves, injectors, and brakes every 400,000 km
[250,000 mi], 6,000 hours, or 2 years (whichever comes first).
Adjustment should be done after any major repair.

After adjusting the injector on a cylinder, adjust the engine valves and
brakes on the same cylinder.
Early engine vibration dampers are marked BRAKE SET 1-6, BRAKE
SET 2-5, or BRAKE SET 3-4. The engine brakes should be set to the
appropriate mark on these engines. Newer engine vibration dampers
are marked only A, B, or C, and fit with the valve and injector in the
