To prevent possible injury, do not use the starter to turn the flywheel.
Hot engine components can cause burns. Allow additional time for the
engine to cool before measuring valve clearance.
Note: Valve lash is measured between the rocker arm and the valve. All measurements and
adjustments must be made with the engine stopped and the valves FULLY CLOSED.
Table 1
Valve Lash Check (Stopped Engine)
Inlet
0.30 to 0.46 mm (0.012 to 0.018 inch)
Exhaust
0.56 to 0.72 mm (0.022 to 0.028 inch)
If the measurement is not within this range, an adjustment is necessary. Refer to "Valve Lash
Adjustment" for the proper procedure.

1. Put the No. 1 piston at the top center position on the compression stroke. Refer to Testing
and Adjusting, "Finding Top Center Position for No. 1 Piston".
2. With the No. 1 piston at the top center position of the compression stroke, an adjustment can
be made to the valves. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Gear rG oup (Front) - Time" for the
information that is required in order to adjust the valves.
Note: Before any actual adjustment is made, lightly tap the rocker arm at the top of the
adjustment screw with a soft mallet. This will ensure that the lifter roller seats against the
camshaft's base circle.
4. If there is not enough clearance in order to insert the feeler gauge between rocker arm (2)
and valve (1), turn adjustment screw (4) counterclockwise in order to increase the clearance.
5. Place the appropriate feeler gauge between rocker arm (2) and the valve (1). Then, turn the
adjustment screw in a clockwise direction. Slide the feeler gauge between the rocker arm
and the valve. Continue turning the adjustment screw until a slight drag is felt on the feeler
gauge. Remove the feeler gauge.
6. Tighten adjustment locknut (3) to a torque of 30 ± 7 N·m (22 ± 5 lb ft). Do not allow the
adjustment screw to turn while you are tightening the adjustment locknut. Recheck the valve
lash after tightening the adjustment locknut.

7. Remove the timing bolt and turn the flywheel by 360 degrees in the direction of engine
rotation. This will put the No. 6 piston at the top center position on the compression stroke.
Install the timing bolt in the flywheel.
8. Adjust the valve lash on the remaining valves. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Gear rG oup
(Front) - Time" for the information that is required in order to adjust the valves.
10. Remove the timing bolt from the flywheel after all adjustments to the valve lash have been
made. Reinstall the timing cover.
