Standard valve clearance [Engine cold]

IN : 0.07—0.17 mm {0.003—0.006 in}

EX : 0.12—0.22 mm {0.0048—0.0086 in}

3)  Adjust the valve clearance by turning the adjusting screw using the hexagon wrench.

4)  Tighten the locknut using the SST to specified torque.

Tightening torque

16—20 N·m {1.7—2.0 kgf·m, 12—14 ft·lbf}

5)  Verify the valve clearance.

Standard valve clearance [Engine cold]

IN : 0.07—0.17 mm {0.003—0.006 in}

EX : 0.12—0.22 mm {0.0048—0.0086 in}

(3)  Turn the crankshaft 360° clockwise and adjust the remaining valve clearance.

12.  Install in the reverse order of removal.

13.  Complete the “AFTER SERVICE PRECAUTION”. (See AFTER SERVICE PRECAUTION [MZR-CD 2.2].)
