9. Perform the following checks and adjustments:. Check that the spring clip on the ends of the drive-shaft and intermediate shaft clicks into place. Usenew spring clips.. Adjust the shift cable (see section l4).. Adjust the throttle cable (see section 11).. Refill the engine with engine oil (see page g-4).
. Refill the transmission with oil or fluid (see sec-tion 13 or 14).
. Refill the radiator with engine coolant (see page
10_5).
. Bleed air from the cooling system with theheater valve open (see page l0-5).. Clean the battery posts and cable terminals withsandpaper, assemble them, then apply grease toDrevent corrosron.. Inspect for fuel leakage (see section 1l).After assembling fuel line pans, turn on the igni-tion switch (do not operate the starter) so thatthe fuel pump operates for approximately twoseconds and the fuel Iine pressurizes.
Repeat this operation two or three times, andcheck for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.

Valve Clearance
Adiustment
Adjust the valves only when the cylinder head tempera-
ture is less than 100"F (38"C).
1. Remove the cylinder head cover.
Remove the middle cover (see page 6-11).
Set the No. 1 piston at TDC. The "UP" mark on the
pulleys should be at the top, and the TDC marks on
the pulleys should align with the pointers on the back
POINTERPOINTER
Adjust the valves on No. 1 cylinder.
Intake: 0.08 - 0.12 mm (0.003 - 0.005 inl
Exhaust: 0.16 - 0.20 mm (0.006 - 0.008 in)
Loosen the locknut, and turn the adiustment screw
until the feeler gauge slides back and forth with a
slight amount of drag.

Using an upward motion on the lever arm, compress
the valve spring and remove the keepers from the
valve stem. Slowly release pressure on the spring.
Repeat step 11 for the other valve in that cylinder.
Remove the valve seals (see page 6-24).
Installthe valve seals (see page 6-29).
lnstall the springs, the retainers and the keepers in
reverse order of removal.

18. Using the 5 mm bolts supplied with the tool, mount
the two uprights to the cylinder head at the end
camshaft holders. The uprights fit as shown.
19. Insert the cross shaft through the bottom hole of
the two uprights.
Select the 7/8 in. diameter short compressor attach
ment, and fasten the attachment to the No. 4 hole of
the lever arm with the speed pin supplied.
Position the piston at TDC, and insert an air adaptor
into the spark plug hole. Pump air into the cylinder
to keep the valve closed while compressing the
springs and removing the valve keepers.

22. Put shop towels over the oil passages to prevent
the valve keepers from falling into the cylinder
neao.
23. Position the lever arm under the cross shaft so the
lever is perpendicular to the shaft and the compres-
sor attachment rests on top of the retainer for the
spring being compressed. Use the rear position slot
on the lever as shown.
Using a downward motion on the lever arm, com-
press the valve spring and remove the keepers from
the valve stem. Slowly release pressure on the
spring.
Repeat step 24 for the other valve in that cylinder.
Remove the valve seals (see page 6-24).
