valve adjustment ck25

[bailbud]

It seems the newer generation can't adjust valves without knowing TDC and a manual. Us old farts, before hydraulic lifters, had to adjust lots of valves, even on running engines. The process isn't hard or super critical. Just double check them when you're done. Once you do it, the process should make sense.

have done it before on 8's 6's 4's and 2's but never a 3

Have a shop manual and can take pics of head install bolt sequence and torque and valve lash adjustments.

Just need your engine type i.e. is it a 3FTH(3 or 4)U?

3=cyl
F=can be A/B/F for stroke
T= Tractor
H=HST (M-mech/P-power shuttle/L-others)
3=Tier 3
4=Tier 4
U=US

If yah gots all da info Cool....if yah needs a hand I'll do my best to get you the pics.
Manual page 2-3 looks like it goes back to serial numbers of 2010, published April 2016.
I'll check in see what you gots.....

Thanks y lee , the dealer loaned me a shop manual.
I read on here that the head bolts were torque to yield however when I talked to a kioti mechanic and from reading the manual about torque specs they are not torque to yield and can be reused. Thank God as New ones were back ordered and would be at least another week. With this **** C-19 have lots of time off and lots to do around the place . About a hour tomorrow and should be running.

I had saved a link from years back that had the shop manual. This should be the link with a copy of the manual: http://goo.gl/2Oag9J That should be for the CK25/27/30/35. Clink the link and it opens a zip file then double click and presto you have a shop manual.

Another way to get you on comp. stroke with the head off. Bring #1 to TDC then put the push rods in for #1 they well be the same height, if not turn 180.
