6. If the valve clearance is outside the specification, adjust as
follows.
Adjustments
+Remove the adjusting shim for parts which are outside the
specified valve clearance.
1. Remove the spill tube.
2. Extract the engine oil on the upper side of the cylinder head
(for the air gun used in step 7).
3. Rotate the crankshaft to face the cam for adjusting shims that
are to be removed upward.
4. Grip the camshaft with camshaft pliers (SST), the using the
camshaft as a support point, push the adjusting shim down-
ward to compress the valve spring.
CAUTION:
Do not damage the camshaft, cylinder head, or the outer
circumference of the valve lifter.
5. With the valve spring in a compressed state, remove the
camshaft pliers (SST) by securely setting the outer circum-
ference of the valve lifter with the end of the lifter stopper
(SST).
+Hold the lifter stopper by hand until the shim is removed.
CAUTION:
Do not retrieve the camshaft pliers forcefully, as the cam-
shaft will be damaged.
6. Move the rounded hole of the adjusting shim to the front with
a very thin screwdriver.
+When the adjusting shim on the valve lifter will not rotate
smoothly, restart from step 4 with the end of the lifter stop-
per (SST) touching the adjusting shim.
7. Remove the adjusting shim from the valve lifter by blowing
air through the rounded hole of the shim with an air gun.
CAUTION:
To prevent any remaining oil from being blown around, thor-
oughly wipe the area clean and wear protective goggles.
