Is doing valve clearances on gq td42 the same method as doing a petrol motor as in sequence? I've worked on plenty of petrol motors but trying to learn more about diesel.

Thanks in advance

Its the same method but the sequence is different.

I did my petrol motor today and it mentioned the 2 different sequences in the manual.
