Cummins ISX11.9 CM2250 – Service Manual 003-009 Rocker Lever Assembly

The rocker lever assemblies must be installed in the engine so they are in the same positions from which were removed.

Install the rocker lever shaft assemblies onto the cylinder head. Be sure that rocker lever shaft supports Number 3 and Number 4 have the oil supply drillings for the engine brake.

NOTE: Hand-tighten the mounting capscrews at this time. The rocker lever side clearance must be adjusted before the capscrews are tightened to their final torque value.
