8 / 12

Effects of Too Large Tappet Clearance

Question: What are the effects of having too large a tappet clearance on the exhaust valves of a four-stroke diesel engine?

C) Enhanced cooling of the engine and reduced exhaust emissions

A) Increased engine power and improved fuel efficiency

D) Quieter engine operation and reduced oil consumption

B) Poor engine performance, increased valve train wear, and potential for valve damage

9 / 12

6. Camshaft Gear Teeth Condition

Question: During a drive inspection, why should the condition of the camshaft gear teeth be examined?

D) To inspect the gear for signs of rust

A) To check for cracks or damage that might affect the gear's engagement with the chain

B) To verify the gear's color consistency

C) To ensure the gear matches the engine’s original specifications

10 / 12

Procedure for Setting Tappet Clearance

Question: What is the correct procedure for setting tappet clearance on diesel engine inlet/exhaust valves?

A) Measure the clearance with the engine hot and running, then adjust the tappets by tightening or loosening the screws while the engine is operating.

D) Measure the clearance with the engine cold, adjust the tappets using a feeler gauge, and then recheck the clearance with the engine at top dead center of the compression stroke.

C) Measure the clearance with the engine cold, adjust the tappets with a feeler gauge, and then recheck the clearance with the engine running.

B) Set the engine to a specific RPM, measure the clearance with the engine off, and then adjust the tappets by removing the rocker cover.
