How do you adjust the valves on a c13 Cat?
Place the appropriate feeler gauge between rocker arm and the valve bridge. Then, turn the adjustment screw in a clockwise direction. Slide the feeler gauge between the rocker arm and the valve bridge. Continue turning the adjustment screw until a slight drag is felt on the feeler gauge.
How does variable valve lift work?
Its movement is driven by the camshaft via a series of components. VVEL varies valve lift by the eccentric control shaft inside the rocker arm. By rotating the eccentric control shaft, the position of rocker arm is shifted, changing the swing angle of cam. The swing angle of cam determines the degree of valve lift.
What does an intake manifold actuator do?
The Intake Manifold Actuator is mounted on an Intake Manifold that acts as a passage of air that is sucked into the cylinder of the engine.
What is the intake valve actuator on ACERT cat?
An Intake Valve Actuator or IVA (also known as a Varible Valve Actuator or VVA) is a device that contacts the intake rocker arm and holds the intake valve of an ACERT Cat engine open in an effort to lower the cylinder temperatures of the engine.
How does the C 13 intake valve actuator work?
Pressurized engine oil flows from the rail to each actuator. The actuators use the pressurized engine oil and electrical commands from the ECM in order to delay the closing of the intake valves. The ECM commands the control valve to open for 17 seconds. The ECM checks the temperature of the coolant.
How to set valves on a Cat C13 overhead?
Click to expand… Just like any other cat except you need to remove the jake / vva housings to set valves and injectors. Set valves and injectors on TC compression, rotate 360 to TC exhaust, set valves and injectors. Install jakes and VVA housings. Set 3-5-6 VVA and 2-4-6 exhausts.
What is code for C 13 intake valve solenoid?
Got a 2006 Int. with a C 13. 6 months ago had a code for #5 actuator solenoid. Replaced jake/intake actuator assembly and had no other problems. Last week light came on and had a code for #2 this time.
