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.

Loosen the locknut, and turn the adiustment screw
until the feeler gauge slides back and forth with a
slight amount of drag.

Connecting Rod and Crankshaft
End Play
1. Measure the connecting rod end play with a feeler
gauge.
Connecting Rod End Play:
Stsndard (Nsw): 0.15 - 0.30 mm
{0.006 - 0.012 in)
Service Limit: 0./t0 mm 10.016 in)
2. lf the connecting rod end play is out-of-tolerance,
install a new connecting rod.
lf it is still out-of-tolerance, replace the crankshaft
{see pages 7-9 and 7-20).
7-6
3. Push the crankshaft firmly away from the dial indi-
cator, and zero the dial against the end of the
crankshaft. Then pull the crankshaft firmly back
toward the indicator; the dial reading should not
exceed the service limit.
Crankshaft End Play:
Stand.rd (New): 0.10 - 0,35 mm(0.004 - 0.014 inl
Service Limit: 0.45 mm (0.018 inl
4. lf end play is excessive, inspect the thrust washers
and thrust surface on the crankshaft. Reolace oans as
necessary. Thrust washer thickness is fixed and
must not be changed either by grinding or shim-
mrng.

SHIM SET(four shims)
Measure the clearance between the gearbox and
valve body unit using a feeler gauge. Measure the
clearance at the poinl midway between the two
mounting bolts.
GAUGE
Determine the required thickness of the 32 mm
shims by subtracting the clearance obtained in the
step "c" from the total thickness of the four shims.
(Total thickness of the 4 shims) - (Clearance) =
Reouired thickness of the shims
Select the shims so that the total thickness is close
to, but less than, the required thickness.
Example:
Measurement is 0.28 mm (0.011 in);
0.70-0.28=0.42 mm (0.028-0.011 = 0.017 in)
The selected shims should be 0,25 mm (0.010 inl and
0.15 mm (0.006 in) in thickness.
lf the required shim thickness is 0.10 mm or less, no
shrms are necessary.
53. Set the selected 32 mm shims on the bearing sur-
face of the gearbox housing.
VALVE BODY UNITla lbl.frl
Coat the new O-ring with grease, and carefully fit it
on the valve housing.
Apply grease to the needle bearing in the gearbox
housing.
Install the valve body unit on the gearbox housing
by engaging the gears. Note the valve body unit
installation position (direction of line connection).
Tighten the flange bolts to the specified torque.
