ADJUSTMENT
1. REMOVE INTAKE PIPE
2. REMOVE CYLINDER HEAD COVER SUB−ASSY
(a) Disconnect the ventilation hose.
(b) Remove the 9 bolts, nut, cylinder head cover and gasket.

3. SET NO. 1 CYLINDER TO TDC/COMPRESSION

(a) Turn the crankshaft pulley and align its groove with timing
pointer.
(b) Check that the valve lifters on the No.1 cylinder are loose
and valve lifters on the No.4 are tight.
If not, turn the crankshaft one revolution (360˚) and align
the mark as above.

4. INSPECT VALVE CLEARANCE

No. 1 No. 3
EX EX
(a) Check only the valves indicated.
(1) Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance be-
tween the valve lifter and camshaft.
(2) Record the out − of − specification valve clearance
measurements. They will be used later to determine
the required replacement adjusting shim.
No. 1 No. 2 Valve clearance (Cold):
IN IN A56713 Intake 0.20 − 0.30 mm (0.008 − 0.012 in.)
Exhaust 0.40 − 0.50 mm (0.016 − 0.020 in.)

No. 2 No. 4 (b) Turn the crankshaft one revolution (360˚) and align the
EX EX mark as above. (See procedure in step 3)
(c) Check only the valves indicated as shown. Measure the
valve clearance. (See procedure in step (a))
Valve clearance (Cold):
Intake 0.20 − 0.30 mm (0.008 − 0.012 in.)
Exhaust 0.40 − 0.50 mm (0.016 − 0.020 in.)

SST 5. ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE

(a) Remove the adjusting shim.
(1) Turn the crankshaft so that the cam lobe of the cam-
shaft on the adjusting valve points upward.
(2) Using SST, press down the valve lifter.
SST 09248−64011
(3) Position the notch of the valve lifter facing the ex-
haust manifold side.
A56809

(4) Remove the adjusting shim with a small screwdriver

and magnetic finger.

A56810

(b) Determine the replacement adjusting shim size by follow-

ing the Formula or Charts:
(1) Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the
removed shim.
(2) Calculate the thickness of a new shim so that the
valve clearance comes within specified value.
T = Thickness of removed shim
A = Measured valve clearance
A56812 N = Thickness of new shim
Intake N = T + (A − 0.25 mm (0.010 in.))
Exhaust N = T + (A − 0.45 mm (0.018 in.))
(3) Select a new shim with a thickness as close as pos-
sible to the calculated value.
HINT:
Shims are available in 17 sizes in increments of 0.05 mm
(0.0020 in.), from 2.50 mm (0.0984 in.) to 3.30 mm (0.1299 in.).

EXAMPLE:
The 2.800 mm (0.1102 in.) shim is installed and the measured
clearance is 0.350 mm (0.0138 in.). Replace the 2.800 mm
(0.1102 in.) shim with a No. 21 shim.
