In this video, we tackle the massive task of adjusting the valve lash on the 6.7 Cummins engine. This job took me about 3 hours. You can speed the process up significantly by having someone look topside for top dead center as you rotate the engine over.
Valve Adjustment Sequence:
For TDC 1:
Intake & Exhaust on cylinder 1.
Intake on Cylinder 2.
Exhaust on Cylinder 3.
Intake on Cylinder 4.
Exhaust on Cylinder 5.
For TDC 6:
Exhaust on Cylinder 2.
Intake on Cylinder 3.
Exhaust on Cylinder 4.
Intake on Cylinder 5.
Intake & Exhaust on Cylinder 6.
Valve Specs:
.026 For Exhaust Valves
.010 For Intake Valves
For this job, I used a Traxion Topside Creeper to reach into the engine bay. This is not a required tool for this job, however it does speed this process up significantly and make a world of difference on your lower back:

NOTE- I highly recommend buying this from a reputable dealer. I choose Geno's Garage for all name brand parts. eBay and Amazon have a ton of aftermarket parts posing to be OEM. For select parts, I would stay away from these sources and stick with reputable dealers.

Where is the TDC pointer? What do I align the mark up with

I apologize for the late reply, I’ve had a crazy last few months moving from Alaska back to Texas. I’m sure you’ve probably already figured this out, but for future viewers I’ll go ahead and respond and pin your comment. At approximately 2:07 I show the TDC mark on the Harmonic Balancer. I’ve painted mine with an orange paint pen to make it easier to see. The harmonic balancer will have a straight line with TDC stamped into it next to the line. There isn’t a pointer or alignment mark, the TDC mark just needs to pointed directly up at the 12’oclock position. You can eyeball it and verify that you are indeed TDC by the movement on the valve rockers. If rockers are all tight, you haven’t reached TDC. If there are loose valve rockers, compare them to the notes in the description to see which set of valves are ready to be adjusted. Thanks for your engagement!

I just used a pry bar with a vacuum cap over the end and pried on the timing lugs on the crankshaft pulley
