Unhappy Diesel Gen set

We have a 1984 diesel generator. Yamaha 5000DVE. The guy replaced the head gasket and it now needs the valves adjusted. I have Googled Yamaha everything for two days and no specs have I found. Anybody know the valve lash adjustment. Or can steer me to someone that doses. Telephone is out do to the snow. Please and Thanks.
Tricky
