10) Measure the clearance of intake valve and ex-
haust valve using thickness gauge (A).
NOTE:
•Measure it within the range of ±30° from speci-
fied position shown in the figure.
•Measure it in low lift cam for intake side.
•Insert a thickness gauge in a direction as hori-
zontal as possible with respect to the valve lifter.
Valve clearance
Intake:
0.20 +0.04 –0.06 mm (0.0079 +0.0016 –0.0024 in)
Exhaust:
0.35±0.05 mm (0.0138±0.0020 in)
•If the measured value is not within specification,
take notes of the value in order to adjust the valve
clearance later on.
11) If necessary, adjust the valve clearance.

CAUTION:
•Adjustment of valve clearance should be per-
formed while engine is cold.
•Do not wear gloves during removal and in-
stallation of valve lifter.
•Do not use the valve lifter which got high im-
pact due to drop etc.
•When installing the valve lifter, align the anti-
rotation of valve lifter with groove on cylinder
head, and then insert the valve lifter.

13) Remove the idler sprocket (upper).
14) Remove the timing chain (LH).
15) Remove the idler sprocket (lower).
B: INSTALLATION
NOTE:
•Be careful that the foreign matter is not into or
onto assembled component during installation.
•Apply engine oil to the chain guide, chain ten-
sioner lever and idler sprocket when installing.
1) Preparation for chain tensioner installation
(1) Insert the screw, spring pin and tension rod
into tensioner body.
(2) While depressing the tensioner onto rubber
mat, twist it to shorten tension rod. Then insert
the thin pin into the hole between tension rod
and tension body to keep it.
NOTE:
Work on the rubber mat or other anti-skid materials.
2) Using the ST, align the “Top mark” on crank
sprocket to 9 o’clock position as shown in the figure

sprocket with mark (A) on the timing chain (LH).
(2) Install the timing chain (LH) to the idler
sprocket (lower), water pump, exhaust cam
sprocket (LH) and intake cam sprocket (LH) in
this order.
NOTE:
Check that the mark on timing chain (A) and cam
sprocket (B) is aligned as same as aligned on crank
sprocket.

(4) Before installing a new valve guide, make
sure that neither scratches nor damages exist
on the inner surface of valve guide holes in cyl-
inder head.
(5) Put a new valve guide, coated with sufficient
oil, in cylinder, and insert the ST1 into valve
guide. Press in until the valve guide upper end
is flush with the upper surface of ST2.

(6) Check the valve guide protrusion.
Valve guide protrusion L:
11.4 — 11.8 mm (0.449 — 0.465 in)
(7) Ream the inside of valve guide using ST.
Put the reamer in valve guide, and rotate the
reamer slowly clockwise while pushing it lightly.
Bring the reamer back while rotating it clock-
wise. After reaming, clean the valve guide to re-
move chips.
ST 499765900 VALVE GUIDE REAMER
NOTE:
•Apply engine oil to the reamer when reaming.
•If the inner surface of valve guide is damaged,
the edge of reamer should be slightly ground with
oil stone.
•If the inner surface of valve guide becomes lus-
trous and the reamer does not chip, use a new
reamer or remedy the reamer.
(8) Recheck the contact condition between
valve and valve seat after replacing the valve
guide.
4. INTAKE AND EXHAUST VALVE
1) Inspect the flange and stem of valve, and re-
place if damaged, worn or deformed, or if “H” ex-
ceeds the standard, or offset wear occurs.
H:
Intake (A)
Standard
1.0 mm (0.039 in)
Exhaust (B)
Standard
1.2 mm (0.047 in)
Valve overall length:
Intake (A)
99.7 mm (3.925 in)
Exhaust (B)
105.2 mm (4.142 in)
2) Put a small amount of grinding compound on the
seat surface, and lap the valve and seat surface.
Install a new intake valve oil seal after lapping.
