Detroit Series 60 & Series 50 Camshaft Timing Specifications

The 2008 manual for Detroit Diesel Series 60 & Series 50 Camshaft Timing Specifications provides crucial information for optimizing the performance and service life of these engines. It includes specifications for camshaft timing, valve lash, injector height, and Jake Brake lash. The manual features four charts that consolidate essential and current information for servicing both diesel and gas engines in on-highway and off-highway applications. It is a valuable resource for professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts alike.

It is important to note that if the valve cover option label is missing, illegible, or incorrect, it is necessary to check the camshaft used in the engine. This can be determined by checking the part number stamped on the rear face of the camshaft or by using DDCSN to enter the engine serial number. DDCSN will retrieve the model number, which in turn provides the correct injector and valve adjustments.
