The valve clearance setting for a Caterpillar 3024C engine is typically 0.25 mm (0.010 inches) for both the intake and exhaust valves. It's essential to check the manufacturer's specifications or service manual for any specific adjustments or variations based on the engine's application or operating conditions. Regular maintenance and proper valve adjustment help ensure optimal engine performance and longevity.
Cat wanst us to pay a dealer for valve setting or spend $ hundreds for maintenance manual. I have searched Internet, CatRVclub & IRV2, found only specs for smaller cat engines. Maybe one could find the military cat C9 manual?

The MAP/Boost Sensor of a Cat C7 engine is located on the driver's side of the engine near the back side. It is next to the valve cover in the intake manifold.
To run overhead on a C11 Cat engine, you'll need to adjust the valve clearance by following the manufacturer's specifications. Start by bringing the engine to top dead center on the compression stroke for the cylinder you're adjusting. Then, use the appropriate tools to measure and adjust the valve lash at the rocker arm, ensuring each valve is set to the correct clearance. Always refer to the service manual for specific torque settings and procedures to ensure accurate adjustments.
To run an overhead on a C15 Cat engine, first ensure the engine is at operating temperature and then remove the valve cover. Rotate the engine to the appropriate position for adjusting the valves, typically aligning the timing marks. Using a feeler gauge, adjust the rocker arms to the specified clearance for both intake and exhaust valves, following the manufacturer’s guidelines. Finally, recheck the adjustments and replace the valve cover securely.
To adjust the valves on a CAT C10 engine, first ensure the engine is cool and then remove the valve cover. You’ll need to rotate the engine to align the timing marks, bringing the piston of the cylinder you’re adjusting to the top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke. Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the rocker arm and the valve stem, and adjust the rocker arm nut as necessary to achieve the specified clearance. Repeat this process for each cylinder, following the manufacturer's specifications for valve clearance.
You can run the overhead, on your Caterpillar 3176 diesel engine with a Jake brake, by removing the Jake brake. Next, remove the valve cover. Adjust the overhead with the adjustment screws.
