99. INSPECT VALVE CLEARANCE
(a) Turn the crankshaft pulley, then align the timing notch with
the timing mark º0º of the timing belt No. 1 cover.
(b) Check that the valve lifters on the intake side of the No.

(c) Inspect the valves indicated in the illustration on the left.
(1) Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance be-
tween the valve lifter and camshaft.
Valve clearance (Cold):
0.15 to 0.25 mm (0.0059 to 0.0098 in.) for intake
0.25 to 0.35 mm (0.0098 to 0.0138 in.) for exhaust
(2) Record the out-of-specification valve clearance
measurements. They will be used later to select an
adjusting shim to replace.
(d) Turn the crankshaft by 2/3 of a revolution (240), then in-
spect the valves indicated in the illustration on the left.
(1) Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance be-
tween the valve lifter and camshaft.
Valve clearance (Cold):
0.15 to 0.25 mm (0.0059 to 0.0098 in.) for intake
0.25 to 0.35 mm (0.0098 to 0.0138 in.) for exhaust

(2) Record the out-of-specification valve clearance
measurements. They will be used later to select an
adjusting shim to replace.
100. ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE
(a) Turn the camshaft so that the cam lobe faces upward.
(b) Turn the valve lifter with a screwdriver so that the notches
are perpendicular to the camshaft.
(c) Using SST (A), press down the valve lifter and place SST
(B) between the camshaft and valve lifter. Remove SST
(A).
SST 09248-55040 (09248-05410, 09248-05420)
HINT:
Apply SST (B) at a slight angle on the side marked with
º9º or º7º at the position shown in the illustration.
When SST (B) is inserted too deeply, it will get pinched by
the shim. To prevent SST(B) from getting stuck, insert it
gently from the intake side at a slight angle.

EXAMPLE (Intake):
Measured valve clearance = 0.45 mm (0.0177 in.)
0.45 mm (0.0177 in.) - 0.20 mm (0.0079 in.) = 0.25 mm (0.0098 in.)
(Measured - Specification = Excess clearance)
Used shim measurement = 2.80 mm (0.1102 in.)
0.25 mm (0.0098 in.) + 2.80 mm (0.1102 in.) = 3.05 mm (0.1201 in.)
(Excess clearance + Used shim = Ideal new shim)
Closest new shim = 3.05 mm (0.1201 in.)

(d) Using a small screwdriver and magnetic finger, remove
the adjusting shim.
(e) Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the re-
moved shim.
(f) Calculate the thickness of a new shim so that the valve
clearance comes within the specified value.
AThickness of new shim
BThickness of used shim
CMeasured valve clearance
Specified value (Cold):
Intake A = B + (C - 0.20 mm (0.0079 in.))
Exhaust A = B + (C - 0.30 mm (0.0118 in.))
(g) Select a new shim with a thickness which is as close to the
calculated values as possible.
HINT:
Shims are available in 17 sizes in increments of 0.05 mm
(0.0020 in.), from 2.50 mm (0.0984 in.) to 3.30 mm
(0.1299 in.).
