Cummins 4BT – Diagnosing Base Engine Component Malfunctions – Valve Train and Head Assembly

The sound emitted from the overhead can indicate a valve train problem. Loose rocker levers will clatter. A squeak­ing noise can mean lack of lubrication for adjusting screw and the push rod socket.

Caution: If one of the individual support pedestals is removed during inspection or repair, all head bolts must
be retightened according to the head bolt torque se­quence. Refer to Procedure (7-07).
