21. REMOVE THEFT DETERRENT HORN(a) Disconnect the connector.
(b) Remove the bolt and theft deterrent horn.
HINT: Remove the deterrent horn when the valve clearance
is adjusted for the front portion of the exhaust camshaft on
the LH cylinder head.
22. ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE (a) Remove the adjusting shim.w Turn the crankshaft, and position the cam lobe of
the camshaft on the adjusting valve upward.
w Position the hole of the adjusting shim toward the
spark plug side.
w Press down the valve lifter with SST (A), and place
SST (B) between the camshaft and valve lifter
flange. Remove SST (A).
SST 09248±55011 (09248±05011 (A), 09248±05021 (B))
NOTICE: The valve lifter is made of aluminum, which is
easily scratched. So when setting SST (B), take care not
to scratch the face of the valve lifter.

Using compressed air and magnetic finger, removethe adjusting shim by blowing air into the shim hole.
HINT: Remove the adjusting shim from the intake man-
ifold side.
NOTICE: Do not drop the adjusting shim into por-
tions A and B. If dropped into portion A, the adjust-
ing shim will pass through the cylinder head and
cylinder block into the oil pan. If dropped into por-
tion B, the adjusting shim cannot be recovered with-
out removing the exhaust camshaft.

(b) Determine the replacement adjusting shim sizefollowing Formula or Charts:
w Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the
removed shim.
w Calculate the thickness of a new shim so the valve
clearance comes within specified value.
T
Thickness of used shim
A
Measured valve clearance
N
Thickness of new shim
Intake N = T + (A±0.20 mm (0.008 in.))
Exhaust N = T + (A±0.30 mm (0.012 in.))
w Select a new shim with a thickness as close as
possible to the calculated values.
HINT: Shims are available in thirty±three sizes in increments
of 0.025 mm (0.0010 in.), from 2.50 mm (0.0984 in.) to 3.30
mm (0.1299 in.).
(c) Install a new adjusting shim. w Place a new adjusting shim on the valve lifter.
w Press down the valve lifter with SST (A), and
remove SST (B).
SST 09248±55011
(d) Recheck the valve clearance.
