wInsert SST (B) gently from the inside as shown in the
illustration.
wUsing a small screwdriver and a magnetic finger,
remove the adjusting shim.
(b)  Determine the replacement adjusting shim size according to
the following Formula or Charts on the next 2 pages:
wUsing a micrometer, measure the thickness of the
removed shim.
wCalculate 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.))
wSelect a new shim with a thickness as close as possible
to the calculated values.
HINT: Shims are available in 17 sizes in increments of 0.050
mm (0.0020 in.), from 2.500 mm (0.0984 in.) to 3.300 mm
(0.1299  in.).
(c)  Install a new adjusting shim.
wPlace a new adjusting shim on the valve lifter, with
imprinted numbers facing down.
wPress down the valve lifter with SST (A), and remove
SST (B).
SST 09248±55040
(d)  Recheck the valve clearance.

could result in damage to the Igniter and/or ignition coil.
wAs some tachometers are not compatible with this ignition
system, we recommend that you confirm the compatibility
of your unit before use.
