VALVE CLEARANCE
INSPECTION
HINT:

7. INSPECT VALVE CLEARANCE
(a) Check only the valves indicated.
Using a thickness gauge, measure the clearance
between the valve lifter and camshaft.
Record the out−of−specification valve clearance
measurements. They will be used later to determine
the required replacement adjusting shim.
Valve clearance (Cold):
Intake0.15 − 0.25 mm (0.006 − 0.010 in.)
Exhaust0.25 − 0.35 mm (0.010 − 0.041 in.)
(b) Turn the crankshaft pulley 1 revolution (360 °) and align
the its groove with timing mark ”0” of the timing chain cov-
er.
(c) Check only the valves indicated as shown. Measure the valve clearance (See procedure in step (a) above).
8. Except for rear valves of No. 6 cylinder ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE
(a) Remove the adjusting shim.
Turn the crankshaft to position the cam lobe of the
camshaft on the adjusting valve upward.
Position the notch of the valve lifter toward the spark
plug side.

9. Rear valves of No. 6 cylinder
ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE
(a) Remove the distributor (See page IG−10).
(b) Remove the camshafts (See page EM−28).
(c) Remove the adjusting shim with a small screwdriver.
(d) Determine the replacement adjusting shim size by follow- ing the Formula or Charts:
Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the
removed shim.
Calculate the thickness of a new shim so that the
valve clearance comes within specified value.
T ....... Thickness of removed 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.))
Select a new shim with a thickness as close as pos-
sible to the calculated value.
HINT:
Shims are available in 17 sized in increments of 0.05 mm
(0.0020 in.), from 2.50 mm (0.0984 in.) to 3.30 mm (0.1299 in.).
(e) Place a new adjusting shim on the valve lifters.
(f) Install the camshafts (See page EM−54 ).
(g) Recheck the valve clearance.
(h) Install the distributor (See page IG−11 ).
10. REINSTALL CYLINDER HEAD COVER
(a) Install the gasket to the cylinder head cover.
(b) Install the cylinder head cover with the 13 bolts.
11. RECONNECT HIGH −TENSION CORDS TO SPARK
PLUGS (See page IG−1 )
12. RECONNECT HEA TER VALVE AND ENGINE WIRE TO
COWL PANEL
(a) Connect the heater valve with the 2 bolts.
(b) Connect the ground strap and engine wire with the 2 bolts.
13. REINSTALL THROTTLE BODY (See page SF−48 )
14. REFILL RADIATOR WITH ENGINE COOLANT
15. CHECK AND ADJUST IGNITION TIMING (See page EM−10 )

REASSEMBLY
HINT:
Thoroughly clean all parts to be assembled.
Before installing the parts, apply new engine oil to all slid-
ing and rotating surfaces.
Replace all gaskets and oil seals with new ones.
1. INSTALL SPARK PLUG TUBES
HINT:
When using a new cylinder head, spark plug tubes must be
installed.
(a) Mark the standard position away from the edge, onto the spark plug tube.
Standard protrusion: 45.5 mm (1.791 in.)
(b) Apply adhesive to the spark plug tube hole of the cylinder
head.
Sealant:
Part No. 08833−00070, Adhesive 1324, THREE BOND
1324 or equivalent
(c) Using a press, press in a new spark plug tube until there is 45.5 mm (1.791 in.) protruding from the camshaft bear-
ing cap installation surface of the cylinder head.
NOTICE:
Avoid pressing a new spark plug tube in too far by measur-
ing the amount of protrusion while pressing.
2. INSTALL TVV
(a) Apply adhesive to 2 or 3 threads of the TVV. Adhesive:
Part No.08833 −00080, THREE BOND 1344, LOCTITE
