Ducati Diavel Service Manual: Checking valve lift
Set the engine to the configuration described for the "checking and adjusting the valve clearances", previously indicated.
Position the tool 88765.1518 On the cylinder head: the part marked "a" should be on the intake side and the part marked "s" should be on the exhaust side.
Seat the plate (a) and tighten the screws (b).
Set the opening valve clearance to zero when the camshaft is in its rest position by fitting a feeler gauge between the upper rocker arm and the opening shim.
Lock the dial gauge into the seat of the stand marked "a" and position the fork probe against the face of the closing shim.
Set the dial gauge to zero when the valve is fully closed.
Rotate the intake camshaft so as to allow the intake valves to lift fully.
Check on the dial gauge that the measured value corresponds to the prescribed one (sect. 3 -1.1, Timing system/valves).
Repeat the same operation for the exhaust valves, using the dial gauge in the support seat 88765.1518 With the marking "s".
Refit the components by carrying out the same operations indicated in chapter "checking and adjusting the valve clearances", previously described.
Refit the components removed in the procedure.

For clarity, the figures show the engine removed from the frame.
Move the piston of the cylinder being checked to tdc of the power stroke: in
this condition, all the valves are closed and ...
Checking the engine timing
Set the engine to the configuration described for the "checking and adjusting

Engine temperature sensor
Introduction
The engine control system on the diavel uses a sensor that measures the
temperature of the coolant (engine
temperature). This sensor has a resistance of ntc type (negative temperature
coefficient), that reduces its own value
when the temperature increases. The engine temperature ...
Reassembly of the oil pump
Check that the circlip (3) and tongue (13) are present on the pump.
Fit the pump drive gear (12) on to the oil pump and secure it by installing the
circlip (6) in its groove.
Insert the by-pass valve pump (17), the spring (16) and screw the plug (14).
Tighten the plug (14) to a torque of ...
