VALVE CLEARANCE INSPECTION AND
ADJUSTMENT (2JZ±GE)
HINT: Inspect and adjust the valve clearance when the en-
gine is cold.
1. REMOVE THROTTLE BODY AND INTAKE AIR
CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY
(See steps 1 to 9 in injector removal in SFI System)
2. DISCONNECT HIGH±TENSION CORDS FROM
CYLINDER HEAD COVERS
(See high±tension cords and cord clamps removal in
Ignition System)
3. REMOVE NO.3, NO.1 AND NO.2 CYLINDER HEAD
COVERS
(a) Remove the 4 bolts, 4 nuts and No.3 cylinder head cover.
(b) Remove the 4 bolts, No.1 cylinder head cover and gasket.
(c) Remove the 4 bolts, No.2 cylinder head cover and gasket.
4. SET NO.1 CYLINDER TO TDC/COMPRESSION
(a) Turn the crankshaft pulley, and align its groove with timing
mark ºOº of the No.1 timing belt cover.
NOTICE: Always turn the crankshaft clockwise.
(b) Check that the timing marks of the camshaft timing pulleys
are aligned with the timing marks of the No.4 timing belt
cover.
If not, turn the crankshaft 1 revolution (360°).
5. INSPECT VALVE CLEARANCE
(a) Check only those valves indicated in the illustration.
wUsing a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between
the valve lifter and camshaft.
wRecord the valve clearance measurements of those that
are out of specification. They will be used later to
determine the required replacement adjusting shim.

Valve clearance (Cold):
Intake
.15±0.25 mm (0.006±0.010 in.)
Exhaust
.25±0.35 mm (0.010±0.014 in.)
(b) Turn the crankshaft pulley 1 revolution (360°), and align the
groove with timing mark ºOº of the No.1 timing belt cover.
(c) Check only the valves indicated as shown. Measure the valve
clearance. (See procedure in step (a))
6. ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE
(a) Remove the adjusting shim.
wTurn the camshaft so that the cam lobe for the valve to
be adjusted faces up.
wTurn the valve lifter with a screwdriver so that the
notches are perpendicular to the camshaft.
wUsing SST (A), hold the camshaft as shown in the
illustration.
SST 09248±55040 (09248±05410)
wUsing SST (A), press down the valve lifter and place
SST (B) between the camshaft and valve lifter. Remove
SST (A).
SST 09248±55040 (09248±05410, 09248±05420)
HINT:
wApply SST (B) at slight angle on the side marked with
º7º, at the position shown in the illustration. EG±12
± ENGINEENGINE MECHANICAL
Page 1327 of 2543

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.
