Valve Clearance



VALVE CLEARANCE





Check only the valves indicated.

(1) Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the valve lifter and camshaft.

Valve clearance (Cold):
Intake 0.15 to 0.25 mm (0.0059 to 0.0098 in.)

Exhaust 0.25 to 0.35 mm (0.0098 to 0.0138 in.)

(2) Record any out-of-specification valve clearance measurements. They will be used later to determine the required replacement valve lifters.
Turn the crankshaft 1 revolution (360°) to set the No. 4 cylinder to the TDC/compression.
