catcher as oil leaking from the engine.)
4. Remove the O-ring from the filter body.
I Press the O-ring in any direction with your finger, and pull on
the portion of the O-ring separated from the filter body to
remove it.
CAUTION:

lows.
Adjustments
IRemove the adjusting shim for parts which are outside the
specified valve clearance.

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 downward
to compress the valve spring.
CAUTION:
Do not damage the camshaft, cylinder head, or the outer cir-
cumference of the valve lifter.
5. With the valve spring in a compressed state, remove the cam- shaft pliers (SST) by securely setting the outer circumference
of the valve lifter with the end of the lifter stopper (SST).
I Hold the lifter stopper by hand until the shim is removed.
CAUTION:
Do not retrieve the camshaft pliers forcefully, as the camshaft
will be damaged.
6. Move the rounded hole of the adjusting shim to the front with a very thin screwdriver.
I When the adjusting shim on the valve lifter will not rotate
smoothly, restart from step 4 with the end of the lifter stopper
(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.

Selection Procedure for Selective Part
Combination
LocationSelective part combination ItemMethod
Cylinder block - piston Piston and piston assembly
(Part No. is given to a piston and piston pin as a set.) Piston grade (Piston outer
diameter) Refer to ªSelective combination
chartº.
IIdentification grade stamped on each part represents initial
dimension of new part. This grade will not be applied to a
reused part.
I Measure correct dimensions of a reused or modified part, then
refer to ªSelective combination chartº in this manual to identify
the grade.
I Refer to the applicable pages for measurement method for
each part, standards for reuse, and selecting method for selec-
tive part combination.
Disassembly
1. Remove engine assembly from vehicle.
