2. Check the rocker arm shaft bracket nuts for
looseness.
Tighten any loose rocker arm shaft bracket nuts
before adjusting the valve clearance.

8. Check for play in the No. 1 intake and exhaust valve
push rods.
If the No. 1 cylinder intake and exhaust valve push
rods have play, the No. 1 piston is at TDC on the
compression stroke.
If the No. 1 cylinder intake and exhaust valve push
rods are depressed, the No. 4 piston is at TDC on the
compression stroke.

Adjust the No.1 or the No. 4 cylinder valve clearances
while their respective cylinders are at TDC on the
compression stroke.

9. Loosen each valve clearance adjusting screw as
shown in the illustration.
10. Insert a feeler gauge of the appropriate thickness between the rocker arm and the valve stem end.

11. Turn the valve clearance adjusting screw until a slight
drag can be felt on the feeler gauge.
12. Tighten the lock nut securely.
13. Rotate the crankshaft 360 °.
14. Realign the crankshaft damper pulley TDC notched line with the timing pointer.
