2. Place the gage block (A) Fig. 23 on the working
table directly under front edge of head casting (B),
Make slight contact by gently raising table as
shown in Fig. 23.
3. Move the gage block (A) to opposite end of the
working table, as shown in Fig. 24.
IMPORTANT :
DISTANCE FROM THE WORKING TABLE TO
EDGE OF THE HEAD CASTING SHOULD BE THE
SAME.
5. Adjust opposite end in the same manner.
