2-24 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Maintenance Procedure
When positioning #1 piston TDC at the end of the
compression stroke:
Inlet Valve Clearance of #1 and #3 Cylinders
Exhaust Valve Clearance of #1 and #2 Cylinders
Measuring Valve [A]
When positioning #4 piston TDC at the end of the
compression stroke:
Inlet Valve Clearance of #2 and #4 Cylinders
Exhaust Valve Clearance of #3 and #4 Cylinders
Measuring Valve [A]
If the valve clearance is not within the specified range,
first record the clearance, and then adjust it.
Valve Clearance Adjustment
To change the valve clearance, remove the camshaft
chain tensioner, camshafts and valve lifters. Replace the
shim with one of a different thickness.
NOTE
Mark and record the locations of the valve lifters and
shims so that they can be reinstalled in their original
positions.
Clean the shim to remove any dust or oil.
Measure the thickness of the removed shim [A].
Select a new shim thickness calculation as follows.
a+b–c=d
[a] Present Shim Thickness
[b] Measured Valve Clearance
[c] Specified Valve Clearance (Mean Value = 0.195)
[d] Replace Shim Thickness
Example:
1.600 + 0.31 0.195 = 1.715 mm
Exchange the shim for the 1.725 size shim.
CAUTION
Don’t use the shims for another models. This could
cause wear of the valve stem end, and valve stem
damage.
