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.

7. 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°).
8. REMOVE TIMING BELT FROM CAMSHAFT TIMING
PULLEYS
HINT (Re±using timing belt): Place matchmarks on the timing
belt and camshaft timing pulleys as shown in the illustration.
(a) Alternately loosen the 2 bolts, and remove them, the
tensioner and dust boot.
(b) Disconnect the timing belt from the camshaft timing pulleys.
