Easiest way is turning the Motor over with the alternator pulley nut.

Yep I've got it setting in the shop floor. I've turned it over a little by the alternator. New gaskets in hand, just looking for confirmation that the regular solid lifter lash method I'm familiar with is the same for this engine. Couldn't think of any reason it wouldn't be. 275,000 miles, never had the valve covers off. Got love the Cummins engines.

 

That's how I've done em of course the factory way works fine too..

 

I do it that way all the time at work... I work on bread trucks that get abused. I set the valve lash every 30,000 miles. And use the alternator nut to turn the engine over
