How do you adjust the valves on Detroit 12v92 engine?
To adjust the valves on a Detroit 12V92 engine, first ensure the engine is at operating temperature and shut it down. Remove the valve covers and rotate the engine to align the reference marks for cylinder number one at top dead center on the compression stroke. Adjust the intake and exhaust valves to the specified clearance using a feeler gauge, tightening the locknut after the adjustment. Repeat this process for each cylinder in the firing order, ensuring to check the clearance against the manufacturer's specifications.
How long does a semi engine last?

There are diesel blocks that were cast in the 1950s that are still in service.I know of a Detroit Diesel 12V92 that's in a generator set in Yongsan, Korea. They installed the engine in the mid-1950s, it's running to this day, and they've never even had the heads off it.
