Engine - V8 S/C 5.0L Petrol - Valve Clearance Check
General Procedures
Check Published: 10-Jul-2013
1. Refer to: Battery Disconnect and Connect (414-01 Battery, Mounting and Cables, General Procedures).
2. WARNING: Do not work on or under a vehicle supported only by a jack.
Always support the vehicle on safety stands.
Raise and support the vehicle.
3. Refer to: Valve Cover LH (303-01D Engine - V8 S/C 5.0L Petrol, Removal and Installation).
4. Refer to: Valve Cover RH (303-01D Engine - V8 S/C 5.0L Petrol, Removal and Installation).
5. CAUTIONS:
Rotate the engine clockwise until the camshafts are positioned as
shown.
Do not rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise. The timing chains
may bind causing engine damage.
Camshaft lobes must be 180 degrees away from each valve tappet
or valve clearance will be incorrect.
NOTE: Using feeler gauge check the gap between the tappet and
the camshaft lobe and check against specifications table.
Using feeler gauge check the gap between the tappet and the
camshaft lobe and check against specifications table.
Repeat for the remaining valve tappets.

Installation
1. CAUTIONS:
Prior to installing the camshafts, position the
crankshaft 45 degrees ATDC cylinder 1A to prevent
valve/piston collision.
Make sure that the camshafts and camshaft bearing
caps are installed in their original locations.
Evenly and progressively install and tighten the
camshaft bearing caps.
NOTE: Lubricate the camshafts and the camshaft
bearing caps with EP90 oil (or 75/90 viscosity oil will
suffice) prior to installation.
Torque: 3 Nm
2. NOTE: Tighten the bolts in the indicated sequence.
Torque: 12 Nm
3. CAUTION: Only rotate the crankshaft clockwise.
Rotate the crankshaft untill the camshaft lobe on the valve being
checked is 180 degrees from the maximum opening position.
4. NOTE: If the valve clearance is incorrect, continue to the next step. If
the valve clearance is correct, continue to step 8.
Using feeler gauge check the gap between the tappet and the camshaft
lobe and check against specifications table.
5. CAUTIONS:
Do not use a magnet to remove the tappet.
Use the following formula to calculate the required bucket
thickness. Original thickness + measured clearance - desired clearance =
required bucket thickness.
Remove the tappet and measure the thickness.

Installation 19.
1. CAUTION: An acceptable flatness of the cylinder head is
0.1mm.
Check cylinder head face for distortion, across the center
and from corner to corner.
2. WARNING: Make sure care is taken when handling the
cylinder head gasket.
CAUTIONS:
The head gasket must be installed over the cylinder
block dowels.
Make sure that the mating faces are clean and free of
foreign material.
NOTE: Install a new cylinder head gasket.
