Cummins claims that these engines are designed to run their lifetime without valve lash adjustment. I personally recommend adjustment at 100k intervals. With 150k on it, if you check them they will be off slightly.

With #1 piston at tdc compression adjust intake valves on cyls. 1,2, and 4 and exhraust valves on 1,3, and 5. Rotate engine 360° til #6 is at tdc compression and adjust intake valves on cyls. 3,5 and 6. Exhaust valves on 2,4 and 6.
