Valve Clearance
Adjustment
NOTE:
. Valves should be adjusted cold; at a cylinder head
temperature of less than 100'F (38"C).
Adjustment is the same for both intake and exhaust
valves.
. After adjusting, retorque the crankshaft pulley bolt to
177 N.m (18.0 kgf.m, 130 lbf'ft).
1. Remove cylinder head cover.

2. Set the No. 1 piston at top dead center (TDC) (see
page 6-12). "UP" mark on the pulley should be at
the top, and the TDC grooves on the pulley should
align with the TDC groove on timing belt back
cover. TDC mark (painted white) on the crankshaftpulley should align with pointer on the timing belt

Loosen the locknut and turn the adjusting screw
until feeler gauge slides back and forth with a slight
amount of drag.
7. Rotate the crankshaft 180' counterclockwise to
bring No. 4 piston to TDC. The "UP" mark should
be pointing straight down. Adjust valves on No. 4
cylinder.

Tighten the locknut and recheck clearance again,
Repeat adjustment if necessary.
Rotate the crankshaft 180' counterclockwise(camshaft pulley turns 90'). The "UP" mark should
be on the exhaust side. Adjust valves on No,3 cylin-
der.
8. Rotate the crankshaft 180' counterclockwise to
bring No. 2 piston to TDC. The "UP" mark should
be on the intake side. Adjust valves on No. 2 cylin-
