cylinder (engine front side of left bank) are located as shown
in the figure.
If not, turn crankshaft one revolution (360 degrees) and align
as shown in the figure.
b. Use feeler gauge, measure the clearance between valve lifter
and camshaft.

sion TDC to align No. 6 cylinder at TDC of its compression
stroke.

3. Perform adjustment if the measured value is out of the standard. Refer to EM-225, "
ADJUSTMENT" .
ADJUSTMENT
NOTE:
Adjust valve clearance while engine is cold.
1. Thoroughly wipe off engine oil around adjusting shim using rag.
2. Rotate crankshaft to position cam nose on camshaft of valve that must be adjusted upward.
3. Using small screwdriver, turn the round hole of adjusting shim in
the direction of the arrow.
CAUTION:
Perform the above procedure so as not to contact camshaft
with adjusting shim.
4. Install lifter stopper [SST: 10115120 (J38972-2)] as follows:
a. Except exhaust side of No. 7 and 8 cylinder;
i. Place camshaft pliers (SST) around camshaft as shown in the
figure.
ii. Rotate camshaft pliers so that valve lifter is pushed down.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage cam surface, valve lifter and cylin-
der head with camshaft pliers.

iii. Place lifter stopper between camshaft and the edge of valve
lifter to retain valve lifter.
CAUTION:
Lifter stopper must be placed as close to camshaft
bracket as possible.
Be careful not to damage cam surface, valve lifter and
cylinder head with lifter stopper.
iv. Remove camshaft pliers.
CAUTION:
Camshaft pliers should be removed by rotating it slowly
because lifter stopper hits and damages journal portion by
rotating camshaft pliers quickly.
b. Exhaust side of No. 7 and 8 cylinder;
NOTE:
Exhaust side of No. 7 and 8 cylinder does not have space for installing camshaft pliers [SST: KV10115110
(J38972-1)]. therefore, install lifter stopper [SST: KV10115120 (J38972-2)] according to the following
instructions.
i. Rotate crankshaft to press cam nose to the adjusting part of valve lifter.
ii. Place lifter stopper between camshaft and the edge of valve lifter to retain valve lifter.
CAUTION:
Lifter stopper must be placed as close to camshaft bracket as possible.
Be careful not to damage cam surface, valve lifter and cylinder head with lifter stopper.
iii. Rotate crankshaft slowly 180 degrees clockwise.
CAUTION:
Rotating crankshaft slowly because lifter stopper hits and damages journal portion by rotating
crankshaft quickly.
5. Blow air into the round hole to separate adjusting shim from
valve lifter.
CAUTION:
When blowing, use goggles to protect your eye.
6. Remove adjusting shim with magnetic hand.
7. Use the equation below to calculate adjusting shim thickness for replacement.

4. Remove cylinder head bolts in reverse order as shown in the fig-
ure with cylinder head bolt wrench (commercial service tool) to
remove cylinder heads (right and left banks).
5. Remove cylinder head gaskets.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Cylinder Head Bolts Outer Diameter
Cylinder head bolts are tightened by plastic zone tightening
method. Whenever the size difference between “d1” and “d2”
exceeds the limit, replace them with new one.
If reduction of outer diameter appears in a position other than
“d2”, use it as “d2” point.
Cylinder Head Distortion
NOTE:
When performing this inspection, cylinder block distortion should be also checking. Refer to EM-269, "
CYLIN-
DER BLOCK DISTORTION" .
1. Using scraper, wipe off oil, scale, gasket, sealant and carbon deposits from surface of cylinder head.
CAUTION:
Do not allow gasket fragments to enter engine oil or engine coolant passages.
2. At each of several locations on bottom surface of cylinder head,
measure the distortion in six directions.
If it exceeds the limit, replace cylinder head.
INSTALLATION
1. Install new cylinder head gasket.
2. Turn crankshaft until No. 1 piston is set at TDC.
