9. INSPECT VALVE CLEARANCE
(a) Check only the valves indicated.
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance be-
tween the valve lifter and camshaft.
Record the out±of±specification valve clearance
measurements. 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 1 revolution (360°) and align the mark
as above. (See procedure in step 8)
(c) Check only the valves indicated as shown. Measure the
valve clearance. (See procedure in step (a))

10. ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE
(a) Remove the timing belt. (See page EM±16)
(b) Remove the camshafts. (See page EM±36)
(c) Remove the valve lifter and adjusting shim.
(d) Determine the replacement adjusting shim size according
to these Formula or Charts:
(1) Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the
removed shim.
(2) Calculate the thickness of a new shim so that the
valve clearance comes within the specified value.
T ........... Thickness of removed shim
A ........... Measured valve clearance
N ........... Thickness of new shim
Intake: N = T + (A ± 0.20 mm (0.008 in.))
Exhaust: N = T + (A ± 0.30 mm (0.012 in.))
(3) Select a new shim with thickness as close as pos-
sible to the calculated value.
HINT:
Shims are available in 41 increments of 0.020 mm (0.0008 in.),
from 2.00 mm (0.0787 in.) to 2.80 mm (0.1102 in.).
(e) Place a new adjusting shim on the valve.
(f) Place the valve lifter.
(g) Reinstall the camshafts. (See page EM±60)
(h) Reinstall the timing belt. (See page EM±23)
(i) Recheck the valve clearance.

16. SET NO.1 CYLINDER TO TDC/COMPRESSION
(a) Turn the crankshaft pulley and align its groove with timing
mark º0º of the No.1 timing belt cover.
(b) Check that the timing marks of the camshaft timing pul-
leys and timing belt rear plates are aligned.
If not, turn the crankshaft 1 revolution (360°).
(c) Turn the crankshaft pulley approx. 50° clockwise, and
align the timing mark of the crankshaft pulley with the cen-
ters of the crankshaft pulley bolt and the No.2 timing belt
idler pulley bolt.
NOTICE:
If the timing belt is disengaged, having the crankshaft
pulley at the wrong angle can cause the piston head and
valve head to come into contact with each other when you
remove the camshaft timing pulley (step 15), causing dam-
age. So always set the crankshaft pulley at the correct
angle.
(d) Remove the crankshaft pulley bolt.
NOTICE:
Do not turn the crankshaft pulley.
17. REMOVE TIMING BELT TENSIONER
HINT:
When re±using the timing belt:
If the installation marks have disappeared, before remove
the timing belt, place 2 new installation marks on the tim-
ing belt to match the timing marks of the camshaft timing
pulleys.

INSPECTION
1. INSPECT TIMING BELT
NOTICE:
Do not bend, twist or turn the timing belt inside out.
Do not allow the timing belt to come into contact with
oil, water or steam.
Do not utilize timing belt tension when installing or re-
moving the mount bolt of the camshaft timing pulley.
If there is any defect, as shown in the illustration, check these
points:
(a) Premature parting
Check for proper installation.
Check the timing cover gasket for damage and
proper installation.
(b) If the belt teeth are cracked or damaged, check to see if
either camshaft is locked.
(c) If there is noticeable wear or cracks on the belt face,
check to see if there are nicks on the side of the idler
pulley lock and water pump.
(d) If there is wear or damage on even one side of the belt,
check the belt guide and the alignment of each pulley.
(e) If there is noticeable wear on the belt teeth, check timing
cover for damage and for foreign material on the pulley
teeth.
If necessary, replace the timing belt.
2. INSPECT IDLER PULLEYS
(a) Visually check the seal portion of the idler pulley for oil
leakage.
If leakage is found, replace the idler pulley.
(b) Check that the idler pulley turns smoothly.
If necessary, replace the idler pulley.
3. INSPECT TIMING BELT TENSIONER
(a) Visually check the seal portion of the tensioner for oil leak-
age.
HINT:
If there is only the faintest trace of oil on the seal on the push
rod side, the tensioner is all right.
If leakage is found, replace the tensioner.
