10. SET NO.1 CYLINDER TO TDC/COMPRESSION
(a) Turn the crankshaft pulley and align its groove with the
timing mark º0º of the No.1 timing belt cover.
NOTICE:
Always turn the crankshaft clockwise.
(b) Check that the timing marks of the camshaft timing pul-
leys are aligned with the timing marks of the No.4 timing
belt cover.
If not, turn the crankshaft 1 revolution (360°).
11. INSPECT VALVE CLEARANCE
(a) Check only those valves indicated in the illustration.

Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance be-
tween the valve lifter and camshaft.

Record the valve clearance measurements of those
that are out of specification. 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 ± 0.014 in.)
(b) Turn the crankshaft pulley 1 revolution (360°), and align
the groove with the timing mark º0º of the No.1 timing belt
cover.
