Valve Lash (Clearance)
1) Remove negative cable at battery.
2) Remove cylinder head cover referring to “Cylinder Head
Cover” in this section.
3) Using 17 mm wrench, turn crankshaft pulley (1) clockwise
until cam lobes (2) become perpendicular to shim faces (3)
at valves “1” and “7” as shown in figure.
4) Check valve lashes with thickness gauge (4) according to
the following procedure.
If valve lash is out of specification, record valve lash and
adjust it to specification by replacing shim.
a) Check valve lashes at valves “1” and “7”.
b) Turn camshafts by 90° (by turning crankshaft with wrench).
c) Make sure that cam lobes are perpendicular to shim faces
at valves to be checked (in this case, “3” and “8”), if not,
adjust it by turning crankshaft. Check valve lashes.
d) In the same manner as b) – c), check valve lashes at valves
“4” and “6”.
