Another truck needs a valve adjustment

Many drivers and owner-operators see valve adjustment as just another expense. But proper valve adjustment can help a diesel engine run efficiently and avoid wasting fuel.

We check the valve clearance with a feeler gauge — and on this truck, the correct gauge won’t even fit. The clearance is too tight. That’s why checking and adjusting valves on time matters.

Valve adjustment isn’t just money spent on diesel repair. Proper maintenance can help your engine run better and use fuel more efficiently.
