41. ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE |
Using a powerful magnet, remove the valve lifter and adjusting shim.
- NOTICE:
- Since shims might drop inside the cylinder head, the operation should be performed slowly.
- Shims should be classified by the installation.
![]() |
Determine the replacement adjusting shim size according to these formulas and charts.
Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the removed shim.
Calculate the thickness of a new shim so that a valve clearance is within the specified value.
T = Thickness of removed shim
A = Measured valve clearance- Valve clearance:
Valve Standard Thickness Intake T + (A 0.20 mm (0.008 in.)) Exhaust T + (A 0.30 mm (0.012 in.))
