with the “0” mark on the No.1 timing belt cover,
l Check that the valve lifters on the No.1 cylinder
are loose and valve lifters on the No.6 cylinder are
tight.
If not, turn the crankshaft pulley one complete revolution.

measure the clearance of No.3 (IN) and No.5 (IN) and
No.3 (EX) and No.6 (EX) valves.

ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE .
(a) Remove the adjusting shim. ,
0 Turn the crankshaft.pulley to’ position the lobe on
the adjusting valve camshaft upward.
0 Using SST (A), press down the valve lifter and
place SST (B) between the camshaft and valve
lifter. Remove SST (A).
