Perform inspection as follows after removal, installation or replacement of camshaft or valve-related parts, or if
there is unusual engine conditions regarding valve clearance.
1. Remove rocker cover. Refer to EM-44, "
ROCKER COVER" .
2. Open splash guard on RH undercover.
3. Measure the valve clearance with the following procedure:
a. Set No. 1 cylinder at TDC of its compression stroke.
Rotate crankshaft pulley clockwise and align TDC mark to
timing indicator on front cover.
At the same time, make sure that both intake and exhaust
cam noses of No. 1 cylinder face outside as shown in the fig-
ure.
If they do not face outside, rotate crankshaft pulley once more
(360 degrees) and align as shown in the figure.
b. Use a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between valve lifter
and camshaft.
