Adjusting valve clearances in Vetus M3.10 three cylinder inboard marine diesel

This video shows my first adjustment of the valve clearances on the Vetus M3.10 three cylinder inboard marine diesel in my Pearson 28 sailboat. After removing the rocker cover, the crankshaft pulley is marked, the engine is rotated to dead top center for the 1st cylinder, the intake and exhaust valve clearances are adjusted, then the engine is rotated clockwise 240 degrees to dead top center for the third cylinder to adjust its intake and exhaust valve clearances, and then another 240 degrees to dead top center for the second cylinder for its adjustments. The engine ran better after the adjustments of the clearances, which are recommended maintenance for every 800 hours of operation. The Vetus M3.10 is a Dutch-marinized Mistubishi block builty in Kyoto, Japan, typically used in industrial and agricultural applications, such as forklifts and tractors. This marine engine was rebuilt in 1996, and has been painted yellow, obscuring the marks on the crankshaft pulley .
