A: INSPECTION
Inspection and adjustment of valve clearance
should be performed while engine is cold.
1) Set the vehicle on a lift.
2) Remove the collector cover.
3) Disconnect the ground cable from battery.
4) Lift-up the vehicle.
5) Remove the under cover.
6) Lower the vehicle.
7) When inspecting RH side cylinders:
(1) Remove the air intake duct and air cleaner
case.

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.

12) Further turn the crank pulley clockwise and
then measure the valve clearances again.
13) After inspection, install the related parts in the
reverse order of removal.

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.

lowing table using the measured valve clearance
and shim thickness.
