8. INSPECT VALVE CLEARANCE |
- HINT:
- Inspect the valve clearance when the engine is cold.
Set the No. 1 cylinder to TDC/compression.
Turn the crankshaft damper and align its timing notch with the timing mark "0" of the oil pump.
Text in Illustration *a Timing Notch Check that both timing marks on the camshaft timing sprocket and camshaft timing gear are facing upward, as shown in the illustration.
Text in Illustration *a Timing Marks - HINT:
- If not, turn the crankshaft 1 complete revolution (360°) and align the marks as above.
Check the valves indicated in the illustration.
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the valve lifter and camshaft.
- Valve clearance (cold):
- for intake:
- 0.15 to 0.25 mm (0.006 to 0.010 in.)
- for exhaust:
- 0.25 to 0.35 mm (0.010 to 0.014 in.)
Record any out-of-specification valve clearance measurements. They will be used later to determine the required replacement adjusting shim.
